The home team Auxerre set up a dense defense with a 5-4-1 formation and organized a fierce competition, but conceded 2 goals after only 8 minutes of play. The star quality of the PSG players made the difference at Stade Abbe Deschamps.

In the 6th minute, Kylian Mbappe continuously faked to eliminate Gauthier Hein's pursuit and then fired a shot into the top corner, opening the score for the away team. Before that, Auxerre's multi-layered defense was penetrated by Fabian Ruiz's through ball.

Continuing the excitement, PSG doubled the gap in the 8th minute. Hugo Ekitike lifted his foot to drop the ball after a pass from Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe rushed up to shoot into the Auxerre net.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice, Lionel Messi had an assist and PSG quickly created a safe distance from the home team. This allowed the away team's stars to freely show off their individual skills in the following period.

However, Auxerre started to rise strongly from the end of the first half. If luckier, Rayan Raveloson would have scored a masterpiece when this central defender's "cannon shot" found the crossbar of PSG's goal in the 37th minute.

Auxerre's determination was rewarded with a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 in the 51st minute. Lassine Sinayoko beat PSG defenders in a race and then fired a cross-angle shot past goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The gap was only 1 goal, making the second half more exciting. However, both sides' strikers could not score more goals. At the end of the match, Kylian Mbappe scored against Auxerre but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

In the end, PSG won 2-1 against Auxerre and maintained a 6-point gap over second-placed Lens with only 2 rounds left in the season. Currently, the team at Parc des Princes is leading with 84 points and only needs 1 more point in the match against Strasbourg in the penultimate round to win the Ligue 1 championship./.
