End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME! RC Lens have defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 champions' opener. Igniatius Ganogo's goal is the difference, with PSG's 20-year-old goalkeeper Marcin Bulka making a howler on a night to forget for Thomas Tuchel's men.
90'+3
Gueye delivers a cross into a packed Lens penalty area, Kurzawa goes for the spectacular bicycle-kick and is cautioned for a high foot.
90'
There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play.
89'
With so many players missing due to Covid-19, it begs the question if this game should have been postponed. PSG may as well have started the campaign with a handicap, and it doesn't get any easier as they prepare for a home match with fierce rivals Marseille on Sunday.
87'
Three minutes to go. PSG don't look like scoring. I can't remember the visitors having a shot on target.
84'
PSG sub: Bakker comes on for Bernat. The visitors have just over five minutes to rescue a point.

Big chance! This could have been the moment for Lens to seal the deal! Sylla's cross to the back post is begging to be finished, but Sotoca tries to head it back across the face of goal and gets it badly wrong! He ought to have scored.
78'
Yellow card! Bernat goes into the book for a rather reckless challenge. Frustration is creeping into PSG's game.

Lens are rather comfortable at the moment. They don't have much experience at this level but they're handling the game well. Less than 15 to play.
75'
PSG sub: Jese makes his first appearance for PSG in FOUR years. He replaces Kalimuendo.

PSG sub: Kimpembe, who took a knock on the knee a moment ago, is replaced by Diallo, as PSG's night goes from bad to worse.
71'
Double Lens sub: The hosts seem to be shutting up shop, as goalscorer Ganogo is replaced by Jean, while Kakuta makes way for Cahuzac.
70'
Yellow card! Sotoca is given a harsh yellow card. He seemed to won the ball fairly from Kimpembe.
68'
PSG sub: Ruiz-Atil makes way for Colin Dagba.
67'
Ruiz-Atil wins a free-kick from Gradit in a dangerous area, just outside of the penalty box... This is a chance for PSG. Herrera lifts it over the wall but it's straight at Leca, who makes a comfortable stop.
65'
Lens sub: That will be Banza's final contribution as he's replaced by Sotoca for the last 25 minutes.
63'
Great save! Bulka goes someway to redeeming himself. He spreads himself to stop Banza's stooping header. That would have been a lovely goal and would have put Lens almost out of sight!
62'
PSG are staring at defeat in their Ligue 1 opener. There was always the possibility they could lose here, but no one actually thought it would happen, did they?!
58'
PSG are on the ropes here as Bulka plays his side into trouble once more. Verratti has nowhere to go and he gives it to Ganogo once again. However, he runs out of space.
