Paris Saint-Germain, which had lost only once in 30 matches in Ligue 1 before this, was on the verge of one of the most surprising defeats in the club’s 2023/24 season! Slovenian coach Luka Elsner and his team from Le Havre were close to securing a significant, sensational victory on their visit to Paris. They led 3-1 and held onto the lead until the 94th minute of the match. Then they lost it. Right at the end. Quite cheaply. Somewhat foolishly. And they were left without a victory, which would have meant everything to them in the battle to avoid relegation. Everything.
Former coach of Domžale and Olimpija found himself on the brink of defeating the renowned colleague Luis Enrique, but somehow the Spaniard managed to escape. For him, a draw is undoubtedly equivalent to a defeat, and Luka Elsner will undoubtedly regret the missed opportunity for a long time.
Paris Saint-Germain, which last lost in Ligue 1 in September last year when they were also defeated 3-2 by Nice (where Luka Elsner proved himself as a footballer in his younger years), found themselves trailing after just nineteen minutes of play. Le Havre took the lead through Christopher Operi, but only 10 minutes later, it was 1-1. Bradley Barcola scored for the hosts. Le Havre did not panic, even less so was afraid. Experienced Andre Ayew, a product of Marseille, PSG’s great rival, scored in the 38th minute to make it 2-1, and when Abdoulaye Toure converted a penalty in the 61st minute, the dreams of a big upset became a reality.
But the Parisians did not want to give up. In the 78th minute, Achraf Hakimi reduced the deficit, and Goncalo Ramos equalized in the 94th minute! Even in the action preceding that, Le Havre lost possession too naively, and they could have undoubtedly prevented the goal. But it wasn’t to be, PSG saved face, and Le Havre earned a point, which will certainly be talked about, but it will mean much less to them in the battle to avoid relegation than if they had secured all three points.
