PSG Still Second

Paris Saint-Germain lost at Nancy Lorraine. In the 89th minute, Mollo scored, with great precision, a goal that saw PSG remain second in the table, even with one more game played than Montpellier.

Most people were probably expecting PSG to take advantage of Montpellier's postponed match, even to a lesser extent than the maximum possible, but they didn't.

Nancy had opened the scoring in the first half, through Bakaye Traore, in the 18th minute, but Sissoko had tied it 5 minutes into the second half.

In hindsight, perhaps a draw would have been the more equitable result.

Two Red Cards and Defeat

This just wasn't Montpellier's day.

Hilton and Stambouli both got red cards, and Montpellier had to play one third of the match with 9 men.

The second red card (an accumulation of two yellows, actually) also resulted in a penalty, which goalkeeper Jourdren parried, but the ball unfortunately (for Montpellier) ricocheted back into the net.
Andre Luiz was credited with the penalty goal.

So, Montpellier fails to gain three big points.

However, PSG also did not win. Carlo Ancelotti 's team, however, gained a point, and now leads in the standings by two points over Montpellier HSC.
