The hosts managed to score a last-minute goal in the 97th minute to secure a draw against Rennes in their Ligue 1 match.
In a thrilling French Ligue 1 encounter, Paris Saint-Germain’s Portuguese forward, Goncalo Ramos, emerged as the hero as he salvaged a crucial point for his team against Rennes. The match was a rather lackluster affair until the late drama unfolded.
The game seemed destined for a dull draw until Amine Gouiri injected some much-needed excitement with a sensational individual run and finish, putting Rennes ahead 12 minutes before the halftime whistle. The goal ignited the contest and set the stage for a dramatic finale.
Ramos, who had replaced the ineffective Kylian Mbappe, found himself at the center of the action in the dying minutes of the game. In the 84th minute, he was initially awarded a penalty after going down under Guela Doue’s challenge. However, the referee controversially reversed his decision and instead booked the Portuguese star.
Undeterred, Ramos continued to press forward and, ten minutes later, he once again found himself tumbling in the box, this time after colliding with goalkeeper Steve Mandanda’s outstretched leg. Initially dismissing the protests, the referee eventually overturned his decision after consulting the video replay.
With the clock ticking down and the pressure mounting, Ramos stepped up to take the penalty. Displaying nerves of steel, he calmly sent Mandanda the wrong way, slotting the ball into the net from 12 yards out. The goal came as the last kick of the game, securing a valuable point for Paris Saint-Germain.
This thrilling encounter showcased the resilience and determination of Ramos, who proved to be the difference-maker for his team. His late heroics ensured that Paris Saint-Germain avoided defeat and maintained their position in the Ligue 1 standings.
