On Saturday, six games of the French championship are played.
In one of them, last year's "Ligue 1" champions, "Paris Saint-Germain", secured a hard-fought victory against "Nancy".
The Parisians typically controlled the ball for even two-thirds of the playing time, but the opponents defended firmly and even tried to counterattack. Nevertheless, they couldn't resist against Serge Aurier's raid into the penalty area, as the defender was only stopped by a foul.
After it, Edinson Cavani, standing on the 11-meter mark, extended Unai Emery's pupils' victory by a minimum result in the 80th minute.
"Nice" also struggled to win, breaking the resistance of "Dijon" on the road. This match was slightly more balanced, but the visitors' advantage was still visible.
The only goal in the ranks of the seaside city footballers was scored by Wylan Cyprien, with a productive pass from Valentin Eysseric.
After these evening matches, both PSG and "Nice" continue to breathe down the neck of the league leader "Monaco", with whom they caught up with points at least until tomorrow.
