00:00Paris Saint-Germain get us underway, looking for the victory which will allow them to finish the weekend where they started it, on top of the table, on goal difference from Monaco.
00:14And their opponents this evening are Monaco's Côte d'Azur rivals Nice.
00:18These two teams aiming to bounce back tonight from midweek defeats in European competition, PSG against Arsenal in the Champions League,
00:26and Nice away to Lazio in Italy in the Europa League.
00:36Particularly stinging defeat for Nice in the pouring rain in Italy, four goals to one,
00:43Lazio which they felt they didn't play that badly in but were simply...
00:48Dembele continuing his run, close with the cross, it's a really inviting ball and the header is kept out by a superb save from Donnarumma.
01:00Dembele with the latest corner kick, comes out for the shot from range from Zaid Emery.
01:06Zaid Emery.
01:12Dembele managing to keep it in play but it's been picked up by Ali Abdi.
01:18Again, Nice will look to break here.
01:21Ali Shaw, he's got goal side of Zaid Emery.
01:25Paris Saint-Germain defenders coming back to help out, Jeremy Boga was nearly in.
01:30In the end it's Hakimi who is there to concede the corner and PSG are let off the hook.
01:39From one end to the other in a flash.
01:42PSG defence exposed, Ali Shaw doing really well.
01:48Not sure if Hakimi will credit to him for getting back to clear up the danger.
01:53I think he's in some pain, Hakimi, following that kick but he's obviously carrying on as the corner comes in.
02:00Balls for Ali Abdi, it's a good deflection.
02:04And there's nothing that Donnarumma can do about that.
02:09Nice take the lead.
02:13Having soaked up some pressure at the other end.
02:18Ali Abdi's deflected strike.
02:22That is what beats the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, he will take the credit for it.
02:27And he's certainly an unlikely goal scorer for the home team here who get the breakthrough with half-time approaching.
02:44Jean-Pierre Rivère the niece present among the VIPs tonight.
02:49Ali Abdi's shot probably wouldn't have troubled Donnarumma.
02:54Because it wasn't exactly a powerful effort, it was Nuno Mendes I think who just stuck out a foot and unwittingly deflected that.
03:03Beyond the reach of Donnarumma who still managed to get a glove on it but he was going the wrong way.
03:09He can't blame the Italian goalkeeper.
03:12And Ali Abdi signed just after the transfer window.
03:18Referee has a look at his watch and that is the half-time whistle.
03:24Half-time whistle, difficult game for PSG.
03:28NBFD goal at minute 39, a reward for what Nice has done in the first half.
03:34It is 1-0 for the home side here.
03:47Against the reigning champions by a goal to nil they get us underway in the second half here.
03:54As they look to claim the scalp of Luis Enrique's team and the Paris Saint-Germain coach has made another big decision.
04:03By replacing Rondel Koulamwani at the half-time interval.
04:08And bringing on Lee Kang-in who will play as a false nine with Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Parkoura on the flanks.
04:16Let's see if that perks up the away team in the second half here.
04:24Fabian Ruiz.
04:28To Bradley Parkoura.
04:31First and crossing to the box is headed away by Abdi.
04:36To Ousmane Dembele.
04:39Former Barcelona man.
04:41Hanging it back for Nuno Mendes on his right foot, it's gone in.
04:45Well.
04:47It's almost as though the lack of power there is what caught up.
04:51He's made a couple of terrific saves in this game including one from a viciously struck volley by Mendes in the first half.
05:00That was on the left foot of the Portuguese defender this time on his right foot.
05:05Team level.
05:07He's made up for the goal which his team conceded in the first half because of the deflection of him.
05:15It's 1-1 here.
05:16The deflection of him.
05:19It's 1-1 here.
05:21And that one took a touch off Bombito on his way as it beat Matsybuka.
05:27Paris Saint-Germain's pressure pays off at the start of the second.
05:34Dembele.
05:36Skipping into the penalty box. He's got Fabian Ruiz alongside him. He ignored that possibility.
05:41A striking European competition.
05:44A number of them about to head off to represent their countries.
05:48Here's Lee Kang in.
05:51Dembele.
05:53Shot was on target but it was a bit too close to Matsybuka.
06:11Neves out to Bradley Barcoula. Here's the out-pull.
06:17Neves.
06:21It's not too tense but they need to keep Paris Saint-Germain out of the penalty box.
06:29Pitinha.
06:36Dembele trying to dig out the cross.
06:41It's away by Rosario but there's nobody up there.
06:45I guess all coming off is Rob Nese of a real physical presence up front who can hold the ball up.
06:52Lee Kang in with the shot. Takes a deflection.
06:56A lot of defending in this second half. They've nearly seen it out for a point.
07:02Led by the impeccable Dantzscher who's still going strong at nearly 41.
07:11Rosario.
07:13Maybe the attack for one last chance here.
07:16Buonanni.
07:18Kloos making the run to join him. Here is Jonathan Kloos.
07:21Can they grab a winner?
07:23Clear the way as far as Asensio and that is the end of the action.
07:26It's been a really good game.
07:28An applause from all around the stadium this instant.
07:31Good, tough game and Monaco will lead the standings after matchday 7 with 19 points.
07:41PSG remains undefeated but gets their second draw of the season.
07:46They'll be second with 17.
07:48Marseille in third with 14 points.
07:52It is 1-0.
08:00See you next time.
