Aubameyang late double and PSG penalty woe headline Ligue 1’s 24th round | OneFootball

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s late double lit up the Olympico as PSG’s penalty woes persisted in Ligue 1’s 24th round. Le Progres reports a Lens fightback, Paris FC relief on Antoine Kombouaré’s bow, and a Rennes nod to grandmothers.

Strasbourg led after a glaring Lens error, but Mamadou Sangaré levelled with a crisp 62nd-minute volley from the edge of the box. It was Lens’s 21st effort inside an hour. They now trail PSG by four points, 53 to 57.

PSG beat Le Havre 1-0 yet missed another spot-kick, Désiré Doué denied by Mory Diaw. That followed failures by Ousmane Dembélé against Newcastle and Vitinha against Monaco. The European champions have converted five of 10 penalties in all competitions this season.

Post-match, Luis Enrique called it an unusual spell, highlighting rotation among takers and insisting confidence remains, citing their many shootout wins.

The round closed with a thriller, OM’s 36-year-old Aubameyang scoring twice in 10 minutes late on, first to equalise then to win it in added time. His 11th and 12th goals of the campaign moved Habib Beye’s side within two points of the podium.

In Paris, Paris FC, 15th on 23 points before kick-off, edged Nice 1-0 in Kombouaré’s first game. Marshall Munetsi struck after Maxime Dupé failed to hold Moses Simon’s powerful effort, pushing the ball straight to the Zimbabwean, who finished.

Rennes marked Grandmothers’ Day eve by replacing mascots with 22 long-time female fans against Toulouse, then won 1-0. Head coach Franck Haise welcomed a third straight win, noting back-to-back clean sheets are never easy.
