Match Events
39' OFFSIDE! Mbappe's goal disallowed
Mbappe receives another incisive pass, this time from Kurzawa. The striker manages to round the goalkeeper and tuck the ball into the back of the net. The flag is raised by the referee's assistant as the France international is unable to hold his line as he strays slightly offside. VAR backs the decision although it was incredibly tight!
40'GOAL! PSG 1-0 Nimes (Nkunku)
Verratti lifts a superb pass over the top of the defence for Nkunku to latch onto which he does with enthusiasm. He takes a brilliant first touch to control it, before side-footing the chance past Bernardoni and into the goal!
53' CLOSE! Mbappe's shot wide out
Immediately after returning to the pitch he sprints down the left flank and cuts inside on the edge of the 18-yard box before firing a low shot towards the left corner of the goal. It’s a great chance, but it rolls just wide as Mbappe looks for his first goal of the match.
69'GOAL! PSG 2-0 Nimes (Mbappe)
After putting the ball in the net twice – only to have both ruled out after VAR checks – the France international finally makes his mark, stabbing the ball past Bernardoni from inside the six-yard box following a pinpoint delivery from Bernat on the left-flank!
89'GOAL! PSG 3-0 Nimes (Mbappe)
Nkunku wins the ball in midfield and pushes it up the pitch for Mbappe who charges into the penalty area, opens up his body and curls a rolling shot past Bernardoni's outstretched hand and into the back of the net!

Match Report
PSG were far from their fluent best as Nimes threatened early on, but once Christopher Nkunku had calmly slotted home from Marco Verratti's pass there was little doubt who would claim victory.
Mbappe could have easily had a hat-trick but had to settle for two in the closing stages to seal the points and reach his personal landmark.
