PSG vs RB Leipzig first half recap

It was an entertaining match to watch for the neutrals but a nerve-racking one for either of the two supporters. PSG dominated the initial ten minutes of the game as they grabbed the lead in the 9th minute courtesy of Kylian Mbappe. The French forward received the ball just a yard ahead of the halfway line from Julian Draxler and Mbappe ran forward when one on one with the last defender he did brilliantly to shoot through the legs of the RB Leipzig defender and give PSG the lead. In the 28th minute, Christopher Nkunku played a superb diagonal ball towards Andre Silva who was standing all alone at the back post to convert and level the score.

In the 57th minute, Nordi Mukiele was on hand to convert from close range and give RB Leipzig the lead. However, 10 minutes later Mbappe played a wonderful ball to Messi who's first time shot hit the post but the six-time Ballon d'Or winner quickly followed up and made sure the ball was in the back of the net and PSG had levelled the proceedings for the night. A few minutes later, Mbappe was fouled in the box and PSG were awarded a penalty. Messi stepped up to take and he converted from 12 yards with a superb 'panenka to give PSG the lead 3-2. PSG eventually held on and Mbappe ended up missing a penalty in the 90+3rd minute but PSG still ended up winning at the Parc des Princes.
