Paris Saint-Germain dropped crucial points in their Ligue 1 title race after being held to a 1–1 draw by Lorient — and suffered an additional blow with the injury of rising star Désiré Doué. The match saw few chances in the first half, but the tempo picked up dramatically after the break.

Nuno Mendes opened the scoring early in the second half, converting a pinpoint assist from Doué. However, PSG’s lead lasted just two minutes as Igor Silva reacted quickest to a rebound to bring Lorient level. Moments later, disaster struck for the visitors when Doué suffered what appeared to be a serious injury and had to be stretchered off in the 61st minute.
