The Paris Saint-Germain U19s secure their spot in the final stage!
The Paris Saint-Germain U19s ran out 4-2 winners against Évreux on Sunday 10 April at the Stade René Foisy de L'Aigle, on Matchday 23 of the U19s Championnat National. The victory sees them qualify for the final stage of the competition.
After falling behind to two goals from Sajed Jebnoun (1-0, 17') and Steven Atsang Beyine (2-0, 30'), Zoumana Camara's side managed to reduce the deficit at the end of the first period thanks to a goal from Nehemiah Fernandez-Veliz (2-1, 43'). They then equalised through Sekou Yansané (2-2, 57'), before taking the lead just minutes later when Djeidi Gassama found the back of the net (2-3, 63'). Gassama made it a brace (2-4, 77') to ensure that the club from the capital secured the victory. The club would like to thank the local council and L'Aigle for the welcome received (Évreux's ground was unavailable for the encounter).
The victory allowed Les Rouge et Bleu to confirm their spot in first place of Group A with 56 points on the board and a 14-point lead over Drancy with four games left to play of the group stage. The three points ensure that the club from the capital will be in the final stage of the competition. This will bring together the top two sides from each group (8 teams), who will then take part in the quarter-finals on Sunday 22 May. Next up for the young Parisians: a match against Amiens on Thursday 14 April at the Stade de la Licorne, for the postponed Matchday 21.
