PSG Stars in International Action: Saturday Round Up
Upon the completion of the third day of the March international break, we take a look at the fortunes and misfortunes of PSG's stars around the globe.
Saturday, the 28th of March saw the third day of action during this March international break get underway, which included plenty of action for PSG stars in action all across the globe. So, how did they get on? Let's take a detailed look at their fortunes or otherwise.
To begin with, Ibrahim Mbaye started for Senegal in their first game since their AFCON title was controversially stripped away. He started on the right hand side of a front three, alongside Bayern Munich's Nicolas Jackson, and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr. With just under five minutes until the half time interval, Mbaye showed superb speed to motor down the right hand side, before keeping his composure and squaring the ball for Jackson to make it 1-0.
Senegal would add a second after the break and won the game 2-0. As for PSG's number 49, he was subbed after around 67 minutes after another good performance with the aforementioned assist and 5/6 completed dribbles. They will face fellow African side Gambia on Tuesday in their final game before the break.
There was much less fortune for Kang-in Lee, who played 32 minutes as a second half substitute for South Korea, as they were thrashed 4-0 by Ivory Coast over in Milton Keynes, England. Although it is good when the regular PSG starters get rest over the break, it's always useful when the subs get more game time. 32 minutes isn't ideal.
