Paris FC secured a 2-0 victory over Lorient at Stade Jean-Bouin, marking their second consecutive win against the Merlus. This win propels Paris FC into the top half of the Ligue 1 table.

The hosts dominated the first half, with Ilan Kebbal opening the scoring in the 19th minute, thanks to a precise pass from Jean-Philippe Krasso. Just six minutes later, Krasso doubled Paris FC's lead with a powerful shot into the net after a swift counter-attack.

Despite a slight improvement in the second half, Lorient failed to capitalize on their chances, with Paris FC's defense holding strong. The hosts' goalkeeper, Obed Nkambadio, made crucial saves to deny Lorient's attackers, securing a clean sheet for Paris FC.

Paris thought they had taken the lead just three minutes in when Jean-Philippe Krasso curled a shot home from the edge of the area, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

The Parisians dominated possession and took control of the game, scoring twice within five minutes. Krasso's quick thinking played a crucial pass to Ilan Kebbal, who slotted the ball past Yvon Mvogo to give Paris the advantage.

Moses Simon broke down the Lorient defense on the 30th minute, creating space for a precise cross from the byline that Krasso expertly headed into the near post, doubling Paris FC's lead. This second goal gave Paris FC a 2-0 advantage at halftime.

This win marked Paris FC's seventh consecutive unbeaten game whenever their Ivorian player scored. Lorient's manager, Olivier Pantaloni, likely urged his team to respond in the second half, but Paris FC maintained possession dominance, making it challenging for Lorient to mount a significant comeback.
