Leaders Paris Saint-Germain celebrated their twelfth win of the season in Ligue 1. The team of coach Thomas Tuchel defeated the FC Nantes 2: 0 (0: 0). PSG (36) has a five-point advantage over pursuer Olympique Marseille (31) with one less game played.
Although both striker stars were in the starting lineup in Paris with Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, in the first half the strike duo was unusually difficult. Only four shots gave PSG until the break, as little as never in a home game in the season. Neymar's supposed 1-0 win was reversed after the video umpire intervened (41 ').
But after half-time Paris could rely on its attackers: Mbappé brought the home side after an outside ball pass by Ángel Di María by hoe in the lead (52.). Neymar made a penalty for the decision (85.).
On Sunday, the game of captains at AS Monaco had been canceled because of a storm. The match will be made on 15 January, three days after the return to Paris Prinzenpark.
