Paris SG is reassured. After losing last Tuesday to Inter Milan in Tokyo (1-2), the club from the French capital ended its Asian tour on Thursday by winning in Busan (South Korea) against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors (0-3). In the heat and humidity, Luis Enrique’s men got into the game well. They put on the intensity necessary to get the better of their opponents physically and were patient with the ball, looking for a gap. Sometimes a little too much. Fortunately, they were able to count on a great Neymar Jr, (finally) back after his serious ankle injury, to make a difference. Shortly before the break, following a festival during which he opened his way to the goal thanks to a fake heel pass, the Brazilian opened the scoring with a deflected right foot shot (40th) . Paris SG thus returned to the locker room with a one-goal advantage.

In the second act, Luis Enrique made many changes, giving playing time to most of his players, and in particular to South Korean Kang-in Lee, a real star in his country. And despite all this new blood, it was still Neymar Jr who was the most prominent, especially in the last quarter of an hour of play. Indeed, in the 83rd minute of play, well served in depth by Fabian Ruiz, the attacking midfielder scored his second goal of the evening by adjusting perfectly, with a small flat right foot, the Jeonbuk goalkeeper. Then, almost in stride, the Parisian offensive leader offered, with a bright delivery, a decisive pass to Asensio, who came into play (88th). Even if everything has not been perfect, Paris SG are reassured with this success as they face Lorient FC on August 12 for the resumption of Ligue 1.
