PSG started the game on a strong note, with Kilian McBarbie and Nima each scoring a goal in 17 minutes to take a 2-0 lead. But then Lille mounted a furious comeback, scoring three goals in a row to go back in front. However, PSG came back in the dying moments, with Kilian McBarbie equalizing three minutes before the end of the game and Mace scoring a hat-trick in stoppage time to help PSG to a thrilling 4-3 win.
More worryingly, Nima was carried off the field with an injury early in the second half, and initial tests showed a sprained right ankle, fortunately without a fracture. However, he will undergo further tests over the next two days to determine if there is ligament damage. If the ligaments are injured, he will be unavailable for the UEFA Europa League clash away to Bayern Munich on March 9th. Considering that PSG went down 0-1 in the first leg, Nima's absence will undoubtedly make it much more difficult for the team to turn things around.
