Paris FC suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat against Mayence, casting doubts on their preparation for the upcoming season. Liam Rosenior had chosen to line up his best team, with Luca Koleosho and Lassine Sinayoko among them. But except for a shot blocked by Patrick Zabi (22e), the Parisians were never dangerous. Not even in the second half with the entrances of Pablo Pagis and Ciro Immobile, the Parisians showed no danger. Well launched by a superb goal from Fabio Gruber, author of an acrobatic return on corner (20e), the 10th of Bundesliga last season did not need to exert themselves to detach. A loss of ball by Pierre Lees-Melou allowed Phillip Tietz to surprise Kevin Trapp, advanced (32e). The opportunities then multiplied for Mayence, like the shot of Sheraldo Becker repelled by the former PSG goalkeeper (40e).

Nkambadio faulty like Lees-Melou Without idea and perhaps also lacking energy, the PFC scored two new goals in the second half, again as a result of approximations. Entered in the game beforehand, Obed Nkambadio went out on a whim in front of Ransford Konigsdorffer. Which led to a penalty in the wake, transformed by the Ghanaian international (82e). The international goalkeeper of the Espoirs still made a mistake in an aerial exit on corner, which benefited Kacper Potulski (87e). After having shown an interesting face against Reims (1-0), Côme (2-2) and Stuttgart (2-2), the Parisian club will try to erase this blunder, Wednesday against Auxerre then Saturday against Angers.
