Paris Saint-Germain were without their big-name forwards as they lost 3-2 to Cerezo Osaka.
Scorers:Ā Ekitike 17ā², Vitinha 49ā²; Croux 22ā², Kitano 63ā², Kagawa 72ā²
In the second game of their pre-season trip to Japan the French champions went down in a five-goal thriller.
But they were without Kylian MbappƩ and Neymar, who stayed on the bench throughout.
Huge Ekitike gave PSG the lead inside 20 minutes before Jordy Croux equalised for the J-League side.
After the break Vitinha scored Les Parisiens second of the afternoon but two late goals from Sota Kitano and Shinji Kagawa saw Osaka win.
