Evolving in his classic 4-3-3, PSG showed, once again the hexagonal land, a real offensive will. The trident of the Parisian attack (Ibrahimovic and Cavani Pastore) has indeed caused much concern to Nantes defense that often took the water.

From the beginning of the match, the Parisians show their intentions. Hogging the ball on 11 of the capital opened the scoring in the 3 ^th minute. Left side, Maxwell overflows and center for Ibrahimovic turned and tried a shot. But Cavani is on the path. The Uruguayan did not hesitate and cross-site recovery of the right that ends up in the goal after touching the left post of the goal of Rudy Riou.

The Capital The players feel they can do the break. They do not let their opponents breathe. The navy successive waves before the Nantes cages. Just like these three clear chances to Cavani, each time after a superb collective action (12 ^th 13 ^th and 14 ^th minutes). But Riou takes good and saves his team.

The Nantais rebel

Cornered for a good quarter of an hour, the Nantais then decide to rebel against the Parisian domination. Galvanized by the songs coming from the bays of the Beaujoire, their actions are more incisors. They regularly dominate the Parisian defense in the air. As this powerful head of Serge Gakpé after good work of Alejandro Bedoya. But Douchez watch and picks the ball

A few minutes later, Bedoya. – Him again – for Lucas Deaux center in the axis which calls for Johan Audel, who gets stolen. Above the bar.

Despite this pressing and Paris-Saint-Germain less sharp, the people of Nantes fail to deceive Douchez or on game action or on set pieces ( 29 ^th and 30 ^th ).

The Parisians are taking advantage of this lack of realism to aggravate the brand. On an action initiated by Thiago Motta, Ibrahimovic back to goal, slipping the ball between the legs of Oswaldo Vizcarrondo Matuidi in the axis. The Parisian middle adjusts Riou with a powerful shot first line (31 ^th ).

Second period less intense

But the Nantais not disarm either. They give everything they can to reply, without success. Bedoya is not far to score a flawless Douchez put his head in a firm right hand (41 ^th ).

After the break the intensity of the meeting falls . The Parisians are in earnings management. The output Matuidi to 52 ^th minute (Djilobodji the clash with the 27 ^th minute that earned a yellow Nantais seems to have left traces) by Adrien Rabiot deprives PSG and its projections of his game forward.

The game is also much ground, mistakes multiplying, with two yellow cards in Paris and three in Nantes, even though in first period both teams had collected a box each. The Nantais do not give up so far, even ending up dominating the second period, despite some dangerous forays players Laurent Blanc in the camp of Canaris.

With the win, Parisians can address end championship with a certain serenity. Indeed, for the last three days of the championship, PSG will face teams from either end of the table or in the soft underbelly of the championship, starting with Guingamp (10th), Friday, May 8, at Parc des Princes.
