PSG forward Lee Kang-in (25) played the full 90 minutes and performed well, but could not secure a victory.
On the 3rd (Korean time), PSG drew 2-2 with Lorient in a home match of the 32nd round of the 2025–2026 French Ligue 1, held at Paris's Parc des Princes.
PSG, which extended its unbeaten streak in league matches to three games (two wins, one draw), maintained its top position with 70 points (22 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses). Lorient, which failed to earn any points, sits in ninth place with 42 points (10 wins, 12 draws, 10 losses).
Lee Kang-in started as the left midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation. This marks his second consecutive league appearance following his match against Angers on the 26th of last month. Although he missed the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich, he returned to the starting lineup for the league match.
PSG implemented rotation. Key attackers and midfielders who started against Munich, including Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and João Neves, began the match on the bench.
Lee Kang-in played the full 90 minutes but failed to record any attacking points. According to the football statistics specialist "FootMob," Lee Kang-in created the most chances among all players on both teams, totaling four, demonstrating his presence. He also recorded two shots and a pass success rate of 88% (57 successful passes out of 65 attempts).
FootMob awarded Lee Kang-in the third-highest rating in the team, a 7.9.
PSG scored the opening goal within the first six minutes. A cross from the left flank by Doué was parried by the goalkeeper, but the ball accidentally struck Ibrahim Mbaye's head and headed into the net.
However, the lead did not last long. Six minutes later, Lorient equalized with a non-stop left-footed shot by Pablo Pagi.
In the second half, as the back-and-forth continued, PSG took the lead again. In the 17th minute of the second half, a shot by Warren Zaïre-Emery from behind the arc deflected off a defender and curled into the net.
But Lorient remained persistent. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Pierre Monguen's 18-year-old rookie back pass was intercepted by Aygun Tosin, who then sprinted toward the goal. Tosin then beat Wilian Pacho and scored with a right-footed shot, finding the back of the net.
As PSG continued to press for a go-ahead goal, Lee Kang-in's potential equalizing assist in the final moments of the match unfortunately came to nothing. In the 40th minute of the second half, Lucas Hernández connected with a strong header from Lee Kang-in's corner kick, but the ball struck the crossbar with a "thud." Ultimately, the match ended in a draw.
