Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have secured their first victory in the French Ligue 1 season, beating Nice 2-0 on Saturday. The match was a dominant performance from PSG, who controlled possession and created numerous chances throughout the game.
The opening goal came early in the second half when Mauro Icardi headed home from a corner kick to give PSG the lead. The Argentine striker has been in good form this season and his goal was a testament to his quality as a forward.
Nice tried to come back into the game, but PSG were too strong for them. The visitors struggled to create any meaningful chances and were eventually reduced to ten men after Yannick Carrasco was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Despite losing one player, PSG continued to dominate and added another goal in the final minutes of the match through a well-taken finish by Kylian Mbappé. The France international's goal sealed the three points for PSG and gave them the top spot in the league table.
This is a significant achievement for PSG, who had struggled to find form earlier in the season. Their win over Nice puts them ahead of Marseille and Lyon in the standings, and they will be hoping to build on this success as they look to maintain their position at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
Overall, it was a dominating display from PSG against Nice, and they will be looking to continue their winning ways in upcoming matches. With their new head coach Mauricio Pochettino leading the team, there is no doubt that PSG are a force to be reckoned with in the Ligue 1.
