So Close

Montpellier almost made it to the top of Ligue 1. With three minutes left in regulation, at the Parc des Princes, they were still leading 2-1.

After PSG opened the score through a great free-kick strike by Alex, in minute 41, Belhanda made it 1-1 in first-half injury-time.

Bad defending from PSG, just like at the first goal, allowed Utaka to sneak in another header, with 8 minutes left in regulation.

But Ancelotti's team fought back successfully, and got the draw that keeps them in first place, thanks to a Hoarau tap-in following some mesmerizing play by Jeremy Menez in the Montpellier penalty area. Full-time: Paris Saint-Germain - Montpellier 2-2.

Montpellier does not get first place, but they should be inspired by the surprisingly good performance in Paris.
