PSG concedes draw to Amiens

After 40 minutes of play at the Licorne stadium, the Parisians were led 3-0 on three pretty goals from Serhou Guirassy (5th), Gaël Kakuta (29th), and Fousseni Diabaté (40th). Then, Paris revolted, returning to the score thanks to Ander Herrera (45th) and a double from young defender Tanguy Kouassi (60th, 65th) before taking advantage by Mauro Icardi (74th) and spoiling several balls of 5 -3 through Edinson Cavani, who is still waiting for his 200th goal in the Paris jersey. But another guilty release, at the end of the game, allowed Guirassy to snatch the draw in additional time (90th + 1).
