Fabian ruiz Shines as PSG Secure Narrow Victory Over Angers
Paris, France – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Angers last night at the Parc des Princes, marking their second win in Ligue 1 this season. while the match wasn’t a dominant display,Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz emerged as the standout performer,scoring the decisive goal and consistently driving the Parisian attack.
after a prolonged period of pressure, Ruiz broke the deadlock in the 50th minute with a well-placed right-footed strike, deceiving Angers goalkeeper Koffi Olomide.The goal was a reward for his energetic performance, characterized by intelligent movement and constant availability. Ruiz nearly doubled the lead with two further opportunities – a header narrowly missing the target and a powerful left-footed shot that rattled the post. He earned a well-deserved 7/10 rating from both L’equipe and Le Parisien. Le Parisien lauded him as “The man of the Parisian liberation!” highlighting how his performance elevated PSG’s overall game.
Vitinha also impressed in midfield, acting as the fulcrum of PSG’s play. The portuguese international showcased his passing range, attempting both long balls and intricate through-balls to unlock the Angers defense. He received a rating of 6.5 from Le Parisien and a 6 from L’Equipe.
Dembélé and Hakimi Struggle to Make Impact
Despite the victory, the performance wasn’t without its shortcomings. New signing Ousmane Dembélé, deployed as a false nine, found it tough to penetrate Angers’ compact defensive block. He squandered several opportunities and ultimately missed a penalty, sending his shot over the bar. He received a low 3/10 from L’Equipe and a 4/10 from Le Parisien.
Achraf Hakimi also endured a challenging evening. Still seemingly finding his rhythm after an extended season, the Moroccan right-back struggled to overcome the challenge posed by Angers’ Ekomié. He lost possession frequently, including one instance that led to a perilous counter-attack for Angers, narrowly missing the PSG goal. Hakimi also received a 4/10 rating from both publications. Le Parisien noted that “The Moroccan has not yet found his legs of fire… the machine is still a little rusty.”
