PSG were bleeding, they had to chase victory with a man less. In the end, PSG won, although the young Nantes striker, Randal Kolo Muani, gifted everyone with the trick of the match. Final score 3-1 at Parc de Princes.It was the Argentine maestro Lionel Messi who initiated the late own goal scored by Appiah, which was the match-breaker for the Saints.Nothing suggested that the Parisians needed anything of that sort, considering that in the second minute, after the shot by Paredes, Kylian Mbappe caught the ball and turned it into an early lead. The great start of the match indicated cannonade and the catastrophic defeat of Nantes. However, the guests gave one of their best performances.They were an equal rival in a good part of the match, they even managed to get PSG into serious problems. Especially when Keylor Navas was shown a red card, deservedly, because he tackled Kolo Muani outside the penalty area. Mauricio Pochettino made a brave move and took Neymar out of the game in order to fill the hole in the goal with Sergio Rico.Nantes equalized soon after. It was a great creation of Muani, whose header was stopped by Rico, but the wanted striker from Nantes was persistent. He went after the lose the ball and kicked it into the net with his backheel.The guests’ dream of a big surprise was short-lived. In the 81st minute, Messi sent the ball in front of Nantes’ goal, and Appiah reacted clumsily and deceived his own goalkeeper. There was no going back for Nantes. Their hopes of another comeback were buried by Messi.LIGUE 1 – Round 14FridayMonaco – LOSC Lille 2-2 (1-2)/Diatta 41, Ben Yedder 83 – David 5 pen, 9/SaturdayPSG – Nantes 3-1 (1-0)/Mbappe 2, Appiah 81 og, Messi 87 – Kolo Muani 76/23.00: (1.60) Rennes (4.10) Montpellier (6.25)Sunday15.00: (3.15) Brest (3.40) Lens (2.40)17.00: (1.95) Angers (3.45) Lorient (4.40)17.00: (2.55) Metz (3.20) Bordeaux (3.10)17.00: (2.10) Strasbourg (3.30) Reims (4.00)17.00: (2.40) Troyes (3.35) Saint-Etienne (3.20)19.00: (3.45) Clermont (3.40) Nice (2.25)22.45: (2.05) Olympique Lyon (3.60) Olympique Marseille (3.80)***odds are subject to change
