PSG were without Neymar for their trip to Corsica

due to the Brazilian’s suspension but they still boasted Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi in their attack.

Basically The capital club were doing all the playing early on and nearly went ahead on 14 minutes

only for Messi’s free kick to be tipped around the post by the outstretched goalkeeper.

But they did eventually take the lead on 24 minutes as Mbappé

added to his tally for the campaign after being put on a plate by Messi.

Mbappé had two more opportunities to double his tally for the evening soon after but missed the target when clean through on goal.

Into the second half and the Parisiens eventually doubled their lead late on as this time Mbappé set up Messi,

who rounded the goalkeeper and finished well.
