For lack of being sufficiently invested, the Paris SG lost for the third time this season on the field of the red lantern, Dijon (2-1), a few days before the reception of Bruges in C1.

With eight points ahead of FC Nantes (2nd) and nine on Lille (3rd) at the opening of the 12th day, PSG will remain whatever happens to be leader of Ligue 1.

But this third defeat, after those suffered in Rennes (2-1) and the Parc des Princes in front of Reims (2-0) falls badly before a new round of Champions League and the reception of Belgian Club Bruges, Wednesday.

For his part, Dijon, who had never beaten PSG in the league in eight confrontations, leaves the last place in the standings to point to 18th, leaving behind Nimes and Metz, at one point.

But Kylian Mbappé, ahead of goalkeeper Alfred Gomis, opened the scoring pretty quickly after a deep pass from Angel Di Maria, to score his fifth goal in Ligue 1 this season (19th).

But in the extra time of the first period, the Dijonnais equalized by Mehdi Chouiar after a touch and a center delivered from the right wing by Didier Ndong on which goalkeeper Keylor Navas and the Paris defense were outrageously wait-and-see (46th + 6).

This goal of the DFCO, the first in Ligue 1 for Chouiar transferred Lens (L2) at the end of August, came to sanction the passivity with which the Paris SG played this first period, without any pace and quite boring.

The second penalty came shortly after the break of a goal scored by Venezuelan Jhonder Cadiz, who slalomed unhindered in defense a shot a shot from the left in a closed corner (47th).

For him too, arrived this summer in Dijon, it is the first goal in Ligue 1.

On the sidelines, the German coach of the PSG, Thomas Tuchel has not masked his annoyance several times in front of the small investment of his team, apathetic in the midfield recovery.

- Icardi and Paredes find the amounts -

Deprived of six injured players (Neymar, Veratti, Thiago Silva, Meunier, Kehrer, Herrera), Tuchel also chose to leave on the bench the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, yet recovered from a hip injury two months ago but who has not been a member since 25 August.

For his part, Mauro Icardi, in the axis of attack and deprived of balloons, had only very few opportunities to develop.

The second half of the PSG was however of better quality with many opportunities for his attack trio Di Maria (56, 62), Mbappé (61), Icardi (75).

The latter even found the crossbar (64) before Leandro Paredes hit the post (69).

Cavani's entry into the 72nd minute, encouraged by several hundred PSG supporters in the stadium, did not bring the most expected even though the Uruguayan was dangerous with a recovery from little to nothing. side after a center of Mbappé (83).

The Parisian team, which added a fifth offensive element with the contribution of Julian Draxler in the place of defender Abdou Diallo (81), continued to face the solidarity Dijon defense behind which the goalkeeper Alfred Gomis was a solid last wall.
