A controversial retaken penalty helped Paris Saint-
Germain salvage a 1-1 draw at Lyon in Ligue 1 on
Sunday.
The Ligue 1 title race remains in the balance after
a retaken Zlatan Ibrahimovic penalty salvaged a
1-1 draw for Paris Saint-Germain at Lyon.
PSG had the chance to go top of the league with a
victory at the Stade de Gerland, but were instead
frustrated by the leaders in an enthralling game.
Following early dominance from the defending
champions, Lyon took the lead in the 31st minute
as Clinton N'Jie controlled a Jordan Ferri cross
and played a neat one-two with Nabil Fekir before
lashing home from closing range.
A string of Anthony Lopes saves kept Lyon ahead
until the 69th minute when Lindsay Rose conceded
a penalty for a foul on Marco Verratti.
Ibrahimovic saw his first effort from 12 yards kept
out a diving Lopes save but was handed a second
chance by referee Clement Turpin, with replays
indicating that the goalkeeper was off his line and
several players had encroached into the area.
And the Swede made no mistake on the second
attempt as he powered into the top-left corner to
keep PSG within two points of Lyon and level with
second-placed Marseille.
