VAR overturns late penalty as Paris Saint-Germain held by Lorient | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Lorient drew 2-2 at the Parc des Princes, a result that keeps the leaders on top as a late home penalty was overturned after a VAR review.

Ibrahim Mbaye put Paris Saint-Germain ahead in the sixth minute, reacting when Yvon Mvogo failed to claim a cross. Pablo Pagis volleyed in Panos Katseris' delivery to level (12.).

PSG pressed before the interval, with Mvogo saving from Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in, and Lucas Hernandez striking the woodwork, as the hosts controlled territory without finding a second goal.

The game swung after the restart when Warren Zaïre-Emery came on and scored with a low strike that deflected in (62.). Oluwatosin Aiyegun then punished a misplaced pass from Pierre Mounguengue to equalise (78.).

Hernandez crashed a header against the post (85.) and Mayulu clipped the frame (88.) as PSG chased a winner.

Deep into the sixth minute of second half stoppage time, PSG were awarded a penalty for handball, but VAR overturned the decision.

PSG registered 24 attempts and 68.6% possession, repeatedly forcing openings and striking the woodwork three times. Lorient produced five attempts and made their moments count, with Pagis and substitute Aiyegun on target.

Next, Paris Saint-Germain visit Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Lorient visit Metz next.
