In the first day of the French championship match, the footballers of "Paris Saint-Germain" achieved another victory. The leaders of the tournament table defeated "Lille" on the road.
Already in the 10th minute, Neymar created the first realistic opportunity here, but it wasn't as easy for the guests as usual. Before the end of the first half, Hamza Mendyl could have taken the lead for the opponents, and later Ibrahim Amadou came close as well.
However, just before halftime, the home team's defender Junior Alonso made a mistake, and PSG took the opportunity to take the lead through Yuri Berchiche.
With Emery's disciples pushing forward, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt. The capital's footballers then controlled the match more securely.
In the second half, Neymar scored with a great penalty shot, and newcomer Lassana Diarra, who appeared after the substitution, made a successful pass to Giovani Lo Celso.
In the evening, "Nice" suffered an unexpected setback at home, allowing "Toulouse" to rise from the relegation zone. The latter resisted well against attacks from Lucien Favre's disciples, and Max Gradel secured the victory for them.
Meanwhile, the players of "Saint-Etienne" showed signs of recovery after defeating their opponents. They were brought forward against "Amiens" by debutant defender Mathieu Debuchy, and Remy Cabella sealed the victory.
"Bordeaux" also won and climbed to the eighth place in the standings, leading with a goal from Younousse Sankhare in the third minute against newbies "Strasbourg". After halftime, Gaetan Laborde also scored in these matches, ensuring a secure victory for the visitors.
