PSG FRUSTRATED IN HOME DRAW
Paris Saint-Germain dropped points at home for the first time since September with a 2-2 draw against third-placed Stade Brestois 29 in Ligue 1.
The league leaders failed to exert any real dominance on the match, despite going into half-time 2-0 up thanks to strikes from Marco Asensio and Randel Kolo Muani.
Mahdi Camara's tame strike 10 minutes after the break was helped into his own net by PSG defender Danilo Pereira, and substitute Mathias Pereira Lage emphatically equalised 10 minutes from time with a skillful back-heeled finish.
Brest enjoyed a large share of the possession and chances in the match as they continued their impressive run of form, extending their unbeaten run to 10 matches as they continue in their quest for a maiden Champions League finish.
PSG though, will be frustrated with a poor performance which was epitomised by the frustration of Bradley Barcola, who was sent off moments from the full-time whistle with two rash challenges.
The young winger was PSG's best outlet throughout, as Mbappe was well stifled by the resolute defence of the visitors. The Ligue 1 Golden Boot front-runner was denied a goal for the first time in six matches in all competitions.
The result leaves PSG six points clear at the summit of the Ligue 1 table, with Brest only managing to close the gap between themselves and second-placed Nice to three points.

FULL TIME: PSG 2-2 BREST
A workmanlike performance from Brest with a moment of pure quality means they leave the Parc des Princes with a share of the spoils.
PSG boss Enrique looks less than happy with his side's performance. You can understand why.

BARCOLA MAKES EARLY EXIT
A rash challenge by Barcola means he is booked twice in the space of two minutes and sent for an early bath.
Showing his inexperience there, despite a strong individual peformance tonight. The first sending off of his career.

ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS?
As previously mentioned, PSG have won all of their last 14 matches against Brest. That record is now seriously under threat.
The hosts seem to finally have some urgency about their play and are trying to force a late winner. A grand stand finish here at the Parc des Princes.

GOAL! PSG 2-2 BREST - MATHIAS PEREIRA LAGE
They've done it! They're level. And it is no less than they deserve.
A truly classy equaliser, with two substitutes combining as Satriano charges free on the left flank before firing a low cross into Pereira Lage, who emphatically back-heels his effort past Donnarumma and puts his side back level.
This is far from over, and PSG have been so poor since half-time. Will we see a winner?

A double change for PSG as they look to hold onto this narrow lead. Not much is giving in the latter stages here, a pretty drab affair.

LALA TESTS DONNARUMMA
Lala, who is battling PSG's Barcola for best player on the pitch tonight, cuts inside from the right flank and fires a fierce effort straight at Donnarumma. Testing the waters there you feel, the visitors certainly look capable of an equaliser.

PEREIRA'S BLUSHES SPARED
Ligue 1 have in-fact awarded Brest's earlier goal to Camara, rather than a Pereira own goal.
A hard one to judge as there was not much ferocity to the midfielder's strike. It certainly would not have gone in without the defender's intervention.

KOLO MUANI MAKES WAY

Barcola again the livewire for PSG as he makes a tricky run, beating multiple Brest defenders before laying off to Mbappe, who got under his effort and blasted well over from just inside the box.

WHICH WAY DOES THIS GO?
We are set to have an intriguing finish to this one. All the signs point towards Brest mounting a comeback, as PSG just can't gather any sort of momentum.
But then again, as evident in the first half, PSG can create moments from seemingly nowhere. All eyes on the last 30 or so minutes!

GOAL! PSG 2-1 BREST - PEREIRA OG
It's one goal back for Brest, and that is a truly horrendous one to concede for the home side. They've been sloppy since the break and that goal summed up their start to the second half.
Absolutely no intensity in their defending as Del Castillo finds Mahdi Camara in the box, his tame effort is slid past Donnarumma by Pereira and suddenly the hosts' lead is halved.
A calamity of a goal, can Brest forge a comeback?

BREST SEEING PLENTY OF THE BALL
PSG seemingly pretty happy to allow Brest to control the ball here. The best the away side can muster is a long-range effort from Lees-Melou which is easily held by Donnarumma.
The biggest compliment to the visitors is the lack of mention for Mbappe so far this evening. We have not seen much of him at all so far.

PSG'S EXCELLENT OPENER
Another look at the goal that opened the scoring. Sublime skill from Barcola, sharply converted by Asensio.
