Valenciennes match review
By: j | December 25th, 2008
Paul Le Guen’s forces were held to a 2-2 draw by troubled Ligue 1 club Valenciennes at Parc des Press. As noted in the preview Antoine Kombouaré’s club has been surging of late and after Monaco last week 3-1 they fought back to draw the Parisians. PSG took the lead four minutes before the half hour mark as Ceara’s cross found Guillaume Hoarau, who subsequently volleyed the ball to the back of the net. Rudy Meyer tied the match for Valenciennes a minutes after the break on a uncharacteristic defensive lapse Sylvain Armand allowed a cross to come into close range. PSG took the lead again as Jérôme Rothen scored from point-blank range at seventy-first minutes as he pounced on a rebound of a Stéphane Sessegnon effort. With the victory in-sight PSG’s defense disappointed them with six minutes remaining as Gregory Pujol’s drive went off the crossbar to Siaka Tiene, who then drove into the net.
The victory leaves PSG in fourth place heading into the winter break. They will return to Ligue 1 action against Bordeaux on January 10.
I apologize for those waiting for this review days ago. I had completed this review after the match and for some reason it did not “publish” and disappeared after I submitted. It is extremely annoying and I apologize for the inconvenience.
