Match Events

11' SAVE! Fine stop from Areola

Monnet-Paquet does well to keep the ball as he dribbles past two PSG defenders, but he is forced wide in the process. He still gets his shot away, but the angle is too tight and Areola is able to catch the attempt.

34' MISS! Bernat's shot wide out

Diaby finds some space on the left wing and he cuts the ball back into the middle of the box. Bernat is running onto it and it just bounces off him before he can control it and it goes out for a goal kick.

62' Not far away! Silva's shot wide out

GREAT CHANCE FOR SILVA! Hamouma puts a brilliant cross into the six-yard box and Silva comes very close to getting on the end of it, but Dagba makes a very important interception to knock it wide.

67' Di Maria comes close!

DI MARIA COMES CLOSE! He did well to pull away from Monnet-Paquet on the edge of the box and tried to curl a shot into the far post with the outside of his boot again. His shot comes very close to sneaking into the goal, but in the end it is just wide. 

73'GOAL! Saint-Etienne 0-1 PSG (Mbappe)

MBAPPE PUTS PSG AHEAD! He gets on the end of Alves' pass near the penalty spot and takes the shot on the volley and his effort just loops over the top of the goalkeeper and into the top corner of the net. 1-0 PSG!

Match Report

A moment of magic from Kylian Mbappe gave Paris Saint-Germain a hard-fought 1-0 win at Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1.

The reigning champions and runaway leaders bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Lyon at the start of the month by beating Bordeaux 1-0 last weekend, however, Thomas Tuchel's team were short of their best once more at Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

Mbappe dazzled in the 2-0 Champions League win over Manchester United on Tuesday but found the going tougher in a line-up without the considerable talents of Neymar, Edinson Cavani, Marco Verratti and Thomas Meunier.
