PSG with Safonov beat Manchester City despite Holland double
The match ended 4-2. PSG could have played "by zero" had it not been for Erling Holland's two goals in the second half
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) beat Manchester City in the guest match of the second round of the general stage of the UEFA Champions League. The meeting ended with the score 4-2.
As part of the French club, goals were scored by Désiré Doué (13th minute), Ousmane Dembele (15), Vitinha (32), Manes Akliusz (63). For the losers, Erling Holland scored a double (53, 75).
In the match, the goal of PSG was defended by Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, for whom this game was the tenth in the starting lineup of the season. His former team-mate Gianluigi Donnarumma stood in the goal of Manchester City.
Manchester City played their second match after the Premier League verdict found the club guilty of 114 counts of financial irregularities. From 2009 to 2018, the club inflated revenues by £900m through "fictitious" sponsorship contracts. City are facing a points withdrawal, expulsion from the league or a drop in class, but sanctions have yet to be imposed.
PSG after two rounds scored six points and takes first place in the table, Manchester City scored three points and is located on the 13th line.
