In the 39th minute, Micky van de Ven put Tottenham Hotspur into the lead with close range finish after Lucas Chevalier had tipped João Palhinha's effort onto the crossbar. It was 2–0 in the 48th minute when Cristian Romero scored with a downward header from the left after a free-kick from Pedro Porro which went into the right of the net past Lucas Chevalier who had got both hands to it.[8] With five minutes left, Lee Kang-in got a goal back for Paris Saint-Germain with a low shot from 20 yards into the right corner of the net, and in the fourth minute of added time Gonçalo Ramos got the equaliser when he headed the ball into the net from close range after a cross from Ousmane Dembélé on the right.
