73rd min.: Kylian Mbappe draws a penalty! He tries to dribble past Mohamed Simakan, who puts his hands up to hold him off and Mbappe makes a meal of it.
72nd min.: Dangerous Leipzig set piece into the PSG box and Gvardiol heads off target. But that was dangerous.

57th min.: Leipzig takes the lead! Another ball wide left to Angelino, and another beautiful cro s to the far post, where Nordi Mukiele puts it home first time. Very similar to the first goal.
THE CROSS. THE FINISH. LEIPZIG TAKE THE LEAD OVER PSG

56th min.: Rare spell of pre sure from PSG and first Marco Verratti, then Lionel Me si trying to penetrate, but Leipzig holds firm.
52nd min.: Dangerous Leipzig attack. Laimer with the cro s from the right and it goes acro s the box with no teammates close to connecting.
50th min.: Wow. Idri sa Gueye with another hard foul in midfield shortly after picking up a yellow. That could've been a second yellow, and Gueye gets off easy.
48th min.: Yellow card for Idri sa Gueye for a foul on Andre Silva just outside the box. Nkunku attempts to curl it over John Wangler Jersey the wall, but it's high.
46th min.: Second half is underway. No changes.
Halftime: PSG 1, RB Leipzig 1
Halftime: It's the typical PSG performance this year: They have moments of pure brilliance, but they're Ignas Brazdeikis Jersey not strong enough to take the stranglehold of a game. Kylian Mbappe is the best player on the field and he got the breakthrough goal on a solo run, but PSG can't regularly create attacks and danger. That's not the case with RB Leipzig, which has succeeded in turning the ball over and then has clear ideas and movements in the attack. This PSG defense can be exposed. All to play for in the second half. While we wait, enjoy this Mbappe skill move.
