The wait was long, very long for Parisian supporters.
While their team largely dominated the match on the FC Nantes pitch, they had to wait until the 60th minute to witness the opening score.
With a left shot deflected by Moussa Sissoko, it was Lucas Hernandez who was responsible for giving Paris Saint-Germain the advantage.
The Parisians struggled for a long time with the Nantes defense, which was very grouped but solid.
Positioned at the entrance to the area, slightly off-center on the left, Lucas Hernandez then decided to surprise everyone by attempting a long-range shot.
On the trajectory of the ball, Moussa Sissoko's leg raised the ball further, which deceived Rémy Descamps, the Canaries goalkeeper.

This goal rewards a great performance from the French international, very offensive this Saturday evening given the lack of offensive action from Nantes.
Author of some good crosses and several successful combinations with Bradley Barcola in the first half, Lucas Hernandez perhaps proved that he was the best Parisian in this left-back position.
Wednesday, in the Champions League, Lucas Beraldo was nevertheless preferred.
A sporting choice, according to Luis Enrique, who assured that his defender had no physical problem.
“I am a coach, I put the eleven that I considered the best.
If I had to start again, I would do the same things,” he declared at a press conference after the victory against Real Sociedad.
This Saturday, Lucas Beraldo started the match on the bench, before entering the game in the 70th minute in place of Marquinhos.
