For all the money they spent, PSG is still just only an okay team in the Champions League, apparently.
This time, not only could they not break down FC Porto, but they even lost (and they lost it quite late).
They had a few chances, more so in the first half, most notably through Ibrahimovic, but the finishing touches were always sub-par for the Parisians.
(Ibrahimovic, for example, preferred one of his trademark high kicks, to direct the ball on goal, rather than controlling it and going for a more secure finish, even when alone with Helton, the Porto goalie.)
Porto missed a few good opportunities, too, in all fairness, but their supporters won't be mad at all, after seeing the winning goal, a beautiful curved volley from James Rodriguez, only 7 minutes before the end of regulation.
The good thing for PSG is that now they are going into a two-match sequence against the weakest team in their group. But they will be hard-pressed to get the full six points, or else they might have to do serious battle for second spot in group A.
