A disappointing start for Pochettino with SG

Argentine Mauricio Pochettino faltered in his first test with Paris Saint-Germain when he drew 1-1 with Saint-Etienne in the eighteenth stage of the French Football League, which saw him alone in the lead for Lyon with a 3-2 victory over Lens, and a surprise loss for the night in front of Angers 1-2.

Saint-Germain were three points behind the leaders, after Saint-Etienne opened the scoring, taking advantage of a mistake from the defense of the capital's team, when the ball reached the player Roman Hamuma, who put the ball into the net (19).

But Saint-Germain did not wait more than three minutes to adjust the score by Italian Moise Kean, who received a pass in the middle of the penalty area from his compatriot Marco Verratti to put the ball easy in the net (22).

After Gabonese striker Denis Bwanga hit the header of Saint-Etienne on the crossbar in the 70th minute, Kane missed the opportunity to advance when he hit the ball in front of the goal, and the crossbar (71).

And the Argentine had an opportunity, Angel Di Maria, when he hit a powerful ball from inside the penalty area, which the goalkeeper managed to brilliantly block (76).

Spaniard Pablo Sarabio missed a dangerous opportunity when he missed with a powerful shot a ball that Kane had prepared for him (90 + 3).

Consequently, Saint-Germain came second with 36 points, behind Lyon, who raised their score to 39.
