Published on: 15 August 2021

Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku was shown a red card in Saturday's clash between Strasbourg and PSG in the Ligue 1.

The 27-year-old received his marching orders in the 81st minute as his visitors lose 4-2 to PSG at Parc de Prince.

Goals from Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe, Julian Draxler, and Pablo Sarabia ensured PSG's victory.

Strasbourg, three goals down inside half-an-hour, had the better chances in the second half and pulled the score back to 3-2 thanks to headers from Kevin Gameiro and Ludovic Ajorque.

But after Djiku's second yellow card for a foul on Icardi, the visitors struggled with 10 men and Sarabia tapped in PSG's fourth from Mbappe's cross to put the game to bed.

Djiku has made two league appearances for Strasbourg so far this season.
