Galatasaray 0-1 PSG: Icardi's 1st goal helps Parisians stay perfect in Group A

Paris Saint-Germain took control of Champions League Group A after Mauro Icardi's first club goal gave them a 1-0 win over Galatasaray.

Match Reports

Argentina forward Icardi joined PSG on a season-long loan from Inter last month, and tapped home from close range in the second half after a slick passing move.

In the face of a hostile atmosphere in Istanbul, PSG showed their mettle and would have won by a greater margin but for Angel Di Maria's poor finishing.

PSG's victory moves them four points clear at the top of the group, with Real Madrid five points adrift after being held to a home draw by Club Brugge.
