JAKARTA - Week 16 of Ligue 1 2023/2024 brings together LOSC vs PSG at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium on Monday, December 18, 2023. Lille and Paris Saint-Germain have to settle for sharing one point.

The hosts appeared more pressing. Even though they only controlled 41 percent of the ball, they managed to release 15 shots, three of which were on target.

While PSG looked difficult to penetrate the Lille defense. They only shot 10 times and two of them headed into the goal from 59 percent possession.

Lille already opened the golden opportunity in the 15th minute. Edon Zhegrova's acceleration from the left side of the opponent's defense ended with a hard left foot kick. Unfortunately, the shot was still narrowly wide.

Zhegrova is indeed a serious threat. He always managed to penterate to the penalty box.

A minute after his first chance, he was able to shoot again from close range. However, his curling shot again was still narrowly wide.

PSG hit back to create an opportunity in the 21st minute. However, Ousmane Dembele's efforts have not met the target after he managed to escape through a quick counter-attack scheme.

Entering the 35th minute, Les Parisiens again got a good chance to open the scoring. However, Vitinha's powerful shot from inside the penalty box could still be parried by Lucas Chevalier.

The corner of Vitinha's shot actually gave PSG two other opportunities. Only, again Luis Enrique's team have not been lucky.

At the end of the first half, Marquinhos came close to scoring the opener. However, his header using a corner still bounced slightly.

The LOSC vs PSG match in the first half ended without a goal.

The intensity of the second half is increasing. The pressure of the host supporters with the treatment made PSG mentally disturbed.

They just got out of the pressure in the 60th minute. Les Parisiens' attempt to stir up Lille's defense led to a penalty.

The violation of Bafode Diakite against Lucas Hernandez made the referee point to the spot. Kylian Mbappe who served as the executor succeeded in carrying out his duties.

The LOSC vs PSG score changed 0-1. Left behind by one goal made the hosts even more intense in carrying out attacks.

Actually, Lille could equalize in the 71st minute. However, Yusuf Yazici's goal was disallowed because he was caught offside first.

Ahead of the match, there was not a single LOSC effort that resulted in equaliser goals even though several changes were also made. For example, refreshing the front line by bringing in Jonathan David to replace Yazici.

Lille's luck only appeared in injury time. Jonathan David's first attempt was still raw. His shot in the goal mouth after using Adam Ounas' pass was still blocked by Arnau Tenas.

However, the two of them managed. Starting with Marco Asensio's passing error which was intercepted by Remy Cabella. Cabella gave Ounas a pass in the penalty box that immediately shot.

The shot was actually still blocked by Tenas, but the ball vomited and immediately struck by David which made it 1-1.

After that, there were no additional goals in the LOSC vs PSG match. Both teams had to share one point after ending 1-1.

An additional one point in the LOSC vs PSG party did not change the position of Les Parisiens who remained at the top of the Ligue 1 standings with 37 points. While Lilla is on the fourth ladder with 28 points.
