Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Ligue 1 clash between Nice and PSG at the Allianz Riviera.
Thomas Tuchel’s men will be looking to continue their perfect start to their league campaign this afternoon as they travel to Nice. The champions have won all their domestic games so far and top Ligue 1 by an impressive six points, with Saint Etienne being their closest rivals at this stage.
PSG have been in terrific scoring form this season, with 24 goals in their last seven games. However, they did suffer a defeat in the opening Champions League game against Liverpool at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Patrick Vieira’s men boast of three victories so far in the league, as they faltered against newly-promoted Reims and Dijon at the start of the season but after their first victory over Lyon, they now sit 11th in the table.
The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is almost upon us, stay tuned for all of the match action!
PSG lead 1-0 at the break, but really they should be ahead by more as they've a few good chances to extend their lead. Neymar fired the visitors ahead with a lovely curling effort from the edge of the box on 22 minutes and he then had a goal ruled out for offside at the very end of the half.
Nice have played well, especially in the early stages of the game with Maolida testing Areola from close range, but the PSG keeper made a strong save to deny the striker. However, they started to falter as the half went on and PSG showed their superiority, creating numerous chances.
That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
Nice went down to 10 men midway through the second half, with Cyprien shown a second yellow card for an elbow on Neymar and they then faced an uphill battle to get anything out of the game. Despite bringing Balotelli on at the break, they failed to threaten in the second half, as PSG dominated proceedings.
PSG wrap up their eighth straight Ligue 1 victory in a row and it's the eighth game that they've scored three goals. The visitors got off to the perfect start at the beginning of the second half, with Nkunku doubling their lead within a minute of the restart, after leading 1-0 at the break, thanks to a goal from Neymar. They had numerous chances to extend their lead even further, with the third goal eventually coming right at the end of the game, from Neymar once again.
