Lorient commit plenty of men forward and Le Goff leads the charge down the left-hand side. He stands a cross into the box but Sirigu comes off his line to claim, completing taking the pressure off his defence. Superb goalkeeping there.
90'
Lorient can take heart that there will probably be a decent amount of added time provided by the ref. Those two goals and a flurry of changes certainly ate up some time. They are indeed running out of time though!
88'
In much the same vein as the second goal, Verratti looks for the run of Bahebeck in behind the defence with a lofted ball over the top. Its not the same outcome on this occasion though as Kone intercepts before clearing the danger.
86'
Pastore dinks a lovely cross into the box and the ball finds its way to Bahebeck, who looks to double his tally with a shot towards the top corner. He is just leaning back though and Lecomte sees it over.
84'
With the veteran heads that PSG have out there now, such as Thiago Silva, Motta, and Matuidi, you would fancy them to see this one out. However, if they defend in any way like they did in the first period, then Lorient may just be in with a shout of snatching a late equaliser.
82'
D. Bouanga enters the game and replaces Raphaël Guerreiro.
Another change from the home side as Raphael Guerreiro, who opened the scoring with that great finish into the corner, is replaced by Didier Bouanga. They have nothing to lose; may as well go for it!
80'
Well, we probably all knew that it would take a hell of a lot to take Motta off the pitch, considering the tough type of player he is. He returns to the action to help his side see out the last 10 minutes of play with their lead intact.
79'
Although, the Italy international may not be patrolling the midfield for long after appearing to pick up an injury near the centre circle. He is currently receiving treatment at the side of the park and PSG are temporarily down to 10 men. Can Lorient take advantage?
77'
It is going to be pretty difficult for Lorient to get back unto this you would feel. They expelled so much energy in that first half and got their rewards with the one-goal lead, but the class of PSG has shone through somewhat as the match has went on. With Motta and Matuidi now patrolling the midfield too, they'll find it tough to find much space in central areas.
75'
This has been a totally different PSG side we have seen in this second half. In the opening 45 minutes they were lazy in possession and toothless in attack, but Blanc must have got the hairdryer out during the half time break!
Minute
Description
74'
B. Matuidi enters the game and replaces Lucas Moura.
G. Sunu enters the game and replaces Y. Jouffre.
73'
Y. Jouffre gets yellow.
Both sides make another change. Jouffre, who was pretty shook up after taking that heavy tumble to the floor a few minutes ago, is replaced by Gilles Sunu. For PSG, Blaise Matuidi comes on for Lucas Moura in what is a slightly defensive change from Blanc.
71'
Mesloub looks to claw his side back into the match here as he takes a couple of strides forward through the middle before unleashing a strike on goal. Sirigu has had plenty of good shots to deal with today, but this isn't one of them as he watches it fly over the bar.
69'
Some of the plaudits for that goal should be going to Laurent Blanc! What a double substitution! Instant impact from them both!
68'
J. Bahebeck has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by M. Verratti.
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLL FOR PSG!! The two subs combine! Verratti picks up possession deep near the halfway line and pops a lovely pass over the top of the defence for Bahebeck, who round the keeper before slotting home! What a turnaround! Two-one!
67'
B. Jeannot enters the game and replaces V. Lavigne.
Aurier has been prominent in this second half so far but not always in a positive sense. He is getting into some great positions on the right but his crosses are either too deep or being blocked. Needs to start finding team-mates!
65'
Mesloub is the man to take the corner kick and does so with a decent delivery to the front post. Marquinhos is perfectly placed to commandingly head away from the danger area, though.
64'
Lorient manage to enjoy some possession outside the box and the ball eventually is crossed in, which Aurier clears behind for a corner under pressure from Ayew. Corner to the home side!
63'
It ends up being a double substitution as the equally ineffective Lavezzi is replaced down that left-hand side by Jean-Christophe Bahebeck.
62'
M. Verratti enters the game and replaces Y. Cabaye.
J. Bahebeck enters the game and replaces E. Lavezzi.
Blanc reacts quickly to equalising by making his first substitution of the match. Cabaye, who had a decent opening five or so minutes only to be pretty poor for the remainder, is replaced by Marco Verratti. Some more creativity present in that midfield now!
60'
E. Cavani has scored a goal for PSG!
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLL FOR PSG! BLANC'S MEN EQUALISE!! Motta goes on a penetrating run down the right channel and exchanges a lovely one-two with Pastore before dashing into the box and teeing up Cavani. The Uruguayan's first attempt is saved but he manages to smuggle in the rebound! One-one!
Thankfully, Jouffre has dusted off the cobwebs and is okay to continue after a couple of splashes of water to the face.
59'
Some worrying scenes for Lorient at the moment as captain, Jouffre is currently down injured after landing rather nastily after an aerial challenge with Marquinhos. It looks like he may be okay but he is just receiving treatment from the physios.
57'
Aurier has began to come out of his shell slightly and is getting into plenty of advanced positions down that-right hand side. However, Cavani and co. are still waiting on the Ivorian to get it right with his crossing.
55'
How has Cabaye escaped a yellow card here? The former Newcastle man is given an easy ride by the referee once again despite going right through Ayew with an overly aggressive challenge. Some frustration creeping into the PSG ranks perhaps?
53'
PSG begin to heap some pressure on the home side with a succession of corner kicks. The last of which falls fortuitously to Cavani, but the former Napoli man sends his strike off target.
51'
Sirigu gets the ball moving out of the back and it eventually finds Pastore in the centre. The Argentine slides a neat pass down the right and Aurier attempts to get he cross in, but it is well blocked by Le Goff. Corner to PSG!
49'
Lorient have been bright coming out after the break, much like they did at the start of the first half. Ayew attempts to test Sirigu once again with a shot from distance but on this occasion the Ghanaian's attempt goes over the bar and doesn't pose a threat.
47'
We are back under way!
43'
That is no more than the hosts have deserved! PSG haven't turned up as of yet! With Marseille on the horizon next weekend, it is vital they get something out of this!
42'
Raphaël Guerreiro has scored a goal for Lorient! Assist by J. Ayew.
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL FOR LORIENT! THE HOSTS BREAK THE DEADLOCK! A cross is floated to the back post and Ayew takes it down with a glorious touch before sliding inside to Guerreiro, who lashes a left-footed strike past Sirigu, whose angles weren't great at the front post! One-nil!
40'
It has to be said that PSG are very fortunate not to be at least one or two goals down here. Sirigu has kept them in with a shout before the break with a string of good saves, but Lorient are looking more and more dangerous!
38'
Sirigu forced into another save! Lavigne gets into a great position inside the box and steps in beyond Marquinhos before looking to whip a strike at goal. He doesn't get a lot of pace on the strike though which makes it relatively easy for the PSG keeper!
36'
We get our first real glimpse of Lavezzi as the Argentine looks to twist and turn down the left wing in an attempt to make his way into the box. Gassama defends well though and blocks the path to goal, which forces the PSG man back.
34'
Motta looks to take some of the pressure off his defence with a marauding run through the middle. He eventually makes it into the final third but can't find a particularly positive pass to a team-mate, which allows Lorient to get back into a decent shape at the back.
32'
The linesman risks the wrath of the home crowd as he waved an offside against Lorient when Ayew looked poised to get a shot away inside the box. It was touch and go, but probably the correct decision from the official.
30'
It has been an entertaining first 30 minutes in this clash between Lorient and PSG, but it has been the home side who have by far looked the most threatening in the last 15. Cavani, Pastore, Lucas, and Lavezzi just can't seem to get into the game!
29'
R. Abdullah gets yellow.
28'
Lorient get the opportunity to get their tall centre halves into the box now as they have a corner from the right-hand side. It ends up being strucky shallowly to the front post though and PSG manage to clear. The home crowd display their dismay at that one!
26'
It looks like the referee is having a go at Cabaye here for a tackle the former Newcastle man made in the middle of the park. He'll need to be careful or he'll be on the receiving end of a yellow, especially with the way he is confronting the ref!
24'
Good defending from Thiago Silva. The PSG captain just gets in front of the Lorient attacker at the front post, who looked poised to head in past Sirigu. Just the presence of the Brazilian was enough to put him off there.
22'
PSG may have enjoyed the majority of possession in central areas here, but it is Sirigu who has by far been the busiest goalkeeper. Lorient proving they are always a threat on the counter.
20'
Lovely flowing move from Lorient! Ayew is at the heart of it as the hosts counterattack at pace down the middle and then the right wing. The Ghanaian cleverly then passes to the back post for Abdullah, but his shot is straight down the throat of Sirigu!
18'
Lorient get a free kick opportunity around 30 yards out. Jouffre and Ayew are standing over it and it is the latter who eventually has a crack on goal from the set-piece, but it is food and drink for Sirigu, who easily gathers. Disappointing from the hosts!
16'
Pastore collects possession in his favourite position just behind the striker. He threads a lovely pass down the right-hand side for Lucas, who cuts back inside, but again the Brazilian can't find a team-mate with a pass. He's getting plenty of space down there, but no end product as of yet!
14'
After a bright start from the hosts, it has been PSG who have bossed the last 10 minutes, particularly in the middle of the park through Cabaye and Motta. Not a lot of penetration from the visitors though, as they are mainly patiently approaching the Lorient goal.
12'
It does raise a question though. Cavani was adamant that the ban he received for his sniper celebration was outrageous, so it'll be interesting to see how he celebrates if he finds the net today! Needs to get the goal first right enough!
10'
It has been a slightly tentative beginning to the match from both sides. PSG are of course still missing the talismanic play of Zlatan Ibrahimovic up top, but they have more than enough quality to threaten the Lorient defence here. Cavani's return from suspension should be a massive boost too.
8'
Cabaye collects possession in midfield and looks to instigate an attack with a diagonal pass down the right for Lucas. The pacey Brazilian stretches his legs down the right but the final delivery doesn't provide any hassle for the Lorient defence.
6'
PSG are just starting to find their feet after a slightly shaky start. Cabaye has done well just to calm things down in the middle of the park and we are starting to see some attacks from the visitors now. No real goalscoring chances as of yet though!
4'
The home side look up for this in the early stages as they look to get into the faces of PSG. Lavigne leads the charge as he puts pressure on Thiago Silva and Marquinhos!
2'
Lorient almost take advantage of some sloppy defending by PSG early doors! Sirigu languishes in possession far too long and Ayew almost takes advantage, but the goalkeeper clears in the nick of time!
1'
We are under way in this Ligue 1 clash!
Good afternoon folks! Welcome to LIVE coverage of the Ligue 1 clash between Lorient and PSG from Le Moustoir!
I'm Martin Macdonald, and I'll be taking you through the action!
Laurent Blanc's outfit head into the match today hoping to apply some pressure on league leaders Marseille, who are currently 1st with a four-point advantage over the Parisians. The two sides face each other next weekend, so a victory for the visitors today would stand them in good stead heading into that top-of-the-table clash.
PSG were massive favourites for the championship at the start of the season but have not exactly lit up Ligue 1 so far. They have won just five of their opening 11 matches, but have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, drawing the other six.
Lorient have made a poor start to the season and find themselves in 17th place after managing just three wins from their opening 11 matches. They have also managed just nine goals in that time, whilst conceding 14 in the process.
Despite arguably not living up to expectations so far in the league, both outfits are coming off some good results...
Lorient are coming off an impressive 2-1 away victory against Evian in the Coupe De La Ligue and PSG brushed aside Bordeaux in the league last week wih a 3-0 win.
Half time at Le Moustoir. Lorient have been by far the better side and have took advantage of a poor PSG performance to head into the break at 1-0. Sirigu has been tested throughout the half but kept solid in goal, that is until three minutes before half time when Guerreiro lashed into the bottom corner! Second half should be a cracker!
Full time in Le Moustoir. It was a game of two halves in this Ligue 1 clash as Lorient bossed the first half in chances created and eventually took the lead through an excellent Guerreiro strike. PSG rallied after half time though and turned the game on its head through goals from Cavani and substitute, Bahebeck. Blanc's men were not at their best tonight, but head back to Paris with three points. Thanks for joining us, see you next time!
