A single goal is enough for their happiness.
Even if it is not directly their doing.
In danger on the lawn of Nîmes, the players of Paris FC finally leave with a success acquired at the very end of the match, on an own goal from the young left side of Nîmes.
They take three precious points before receiving Valenciennes, scorer (2-1) from Sochaux, next Saturday.

What you must remember
Thierry Laurey had a plan.
The 4th and roadblocker of last season was not in his place, the fault of failures against teams supposedly less strong on paper, like Niort or Rodez, which had left a bad memory for the Parisians on their lawn of Charléty.
A first alert comes on the goal of Ivan Filipovic, who saves his team.
The capital club reacted well but the attempts of Julien Lopez, then Alimami Gory and finally Ilan Kebbal did not find the conclusion (8th).
Nîmes is pushing, Paris is holding up well and the two teams are joining the locker room back to back.
Shortly before the hour mark, Kebbal saw his free kick attempt repelled by Maraval (57').
Thierry Laurey then decided to bring in new blood with Lebogang and Jaouen Hadjam (59th), the latter putting the Nîmes goalkeeper to work shortly after.
We are heading for a goalless draw when Nasser Djiga, a Burkinabe international on loan to Nîmes by FC Basel, scores against his camp (86th).
The six minutes of additional time did not change anything and Paris FC continued with a second consecutive away victory.
Player: Ivan Filipovic
Inducted holder this summer in the Parisian goals in place of Vincent Demarconnay, the 27-year-old Croatian goalkeeper allowed his team not to be led early in the game.
He then distinguished himself by performing a superb save shortly before the quarter-hour mark. This was enough to deter opposing attackers and keep his clean sheets.
A first since the trip to Guingamp... on August 13th.
The number: 15
Either the number of shots attempted by the Parisians in this very open meeting.
Small problem: they only framed five, or a third.
Morgan Guilavogui and his teammates also obtained eleven corners, it is moreover on one of them that the unfortunate Nasser Djiga deceived his own goalkeeper who had shown himself until then irreproachable.
