"Desire Doue came off the bench to engineer an impressive turnaround for PSG, who conceded a goal in the opening minute and were 2-0 down after 18 minutes as Folarin Balogun grabbed a double for the hosts. The 20-year-old Doue replaced the Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who went off injured after 27 minutes, and proved decisive for the visitors as he struck two superb goals and set up one for Achraf Hakimi."
"Wout Faes pulled back Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to give away a 22nd-minute penalty. However Vitinha's effort was saved by Philipp Kohn. Yet the tie swung as Doue came on and scored with his first touch in the 29th minute after being teed up by Bradley Barcola. Doue's rifling shot in the 41st minute was parried away by Kohn, but Hakimi reacted quickly to pounce on the rebound and make it 2-2 before the break."
Paris Saint-Germain overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Monaco 3-2 in the first leg of their playoff tie.

Desire Doue replaced the injured Ousmane Dembele and scored with his first touch, added a second goal and set up Achraf Hakimi's equaliser. Aleksandr Golovin received a red card after a studs-up tackle on Vitinha, leaving Monaco with ten men. PSG dominated the remainder and head into the return leg with the advantage.
