Kimpembe arrived as ‘9’ and scored PSG 1-0 with a header against the modest Vannes in the Coupe de France | VIDEO

On paper, the team led by Mauricio Pochettino had to solve PSG vs. Vanne for the round of 32 of the Coupe de France. However, ‘Les Bleus’ could not with the wall that put in front of the goal the table of the fourth category. So a stopped ball was key to breaking the barrier and the perpetrator was a central: Presnel Kimpembe.

It is true, ‘Les Parisiens’ did not struggle in the background. In fact, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma barely participated in the actions. However, the attempts of the capital club, which appeared without two of its top stars (Lionel Messi due to coronavirus and Neymar due to injury), tried with the scorer Kylian Mbappé, but there was no success.

So if it can’t be done through elaborate action, standing balls are always a good alternative. Thus, before the initial half hour, Nuno Mendes reached the flag to take the corner kick. The Portuguese side launched the balloon towards the small area to do damage.

The Portuguese’s precise service was left for Presnel Kimpembe, totally unmarked, to throw himself on the court and land a blow with his head. Goalkeeper Clement Petrel reacted and even touched the balloon, but did not prevent the fall and the 1-0 of the day at the Rabine stadium.
