The crowd are doing their best to get behind their PSG side, despite having a 1-0 lead in this game they may need to score a second in order to be sure of taking all three points from this game today.
62'
Poor foul by Thiago Motta has given Nantes a free-kick in a good shooting area, around 30 yards from goal. The PSG midfielder is lucky to get away with just a verbal warning from the referee for that foul. Luckily for PSG the free-kick is hit straight at their wall and the danger fades away.
59'
OFF THE LINE! Djidji clears Matuidi's lob off the line and then allows Riou to take the danger away. It was more good play by Augustin who beat the keeper but the angle was too narrow to shoot at goal, so he laid it back to Matuidi who had the attempt at goal but Djidji was on the line to clear.
57'
It's all PSG at the moment, Nantes are once again struggled to get hold of the ball and play their own football. Surely another goal is on its way.

Ben Arfa certainly has the quality to add something to this PSG side and he is showing his worth already in his opening minutes, using his skill and pace to beat Lima down the left, who struggled to contain Di Maria earlier in the game.
38'
GOAL RULED OUT! PSG have the ball in the back of the net again but it is rightly ruled out for offside by the officials. It was a lovely ball by Ben Arfa into the path of Augustin who rounds the keeper and slots the ball into the back of net, but the forward made his run slightly too early.

Di María does go off injured and is replaced by Hatem Ben Arfa, who was tipped to start todays game but instead he has 60 minutes to show his quality.

27'
Chance PSG! Lucas should've scored! Di Maria laid the ball of to his teammate on the edge of the box and Lucas tried to pass the ball into the back of the net, but there isn't enough pace on the shot and Riou gets down well and makes a good save to deny PSG a second goal.
24'
Free-kick in a good position for Nantes on the left, this is a opportunity to get the ball into the box and attempt to cause PSG some problems. The initial ball in is cleared but a cross is then whipped in from the right and Gillet tries an acrobatic attempt at goal which forces PSG keeper Trapp to pull off a good save.

Verratti is pulling all of the strings in the heart of the PSG midfield so far today, linking up well with Di Maria and Lucas.
19'
The last time the two sides met ended up with an impressive PSG victory, beating todays opponents 4-0 at the end of last season, and will be hoping for a similar scoreline today to put pressure on Nice.
16'
It always looked likely that PSG would open the scoring here at the Parc des Princes, they have dominated this game so far and look full of confidence going forward. Augustin has been causing the Nantes defenders plenty of problems.
13'
Á. Di María has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by J. Augustin.
Fantastic play by Augustin to set up the goal. It was his skill and pace that beat Vizcarrondo and the Nantes defender brought him down with a late foul, but the ball fell into the path of Di Maria who fired home.
GOAL PSG! Ángel di María with the goal! It was a simply finish for a player of his quality. If he hadn't of slotted the ball into the back of the net the referee would've awarded a penalty to PSG for a foul on Augustin which led to the ball falling into Di Maria's path in the middle of the box. Di Maria was in the right place at the right time to slot home the opening goal.

4'
First corner for the game goes to PSG and it is a good one. Thiago Silva rose the highest in the box and was just inches away from getting his head to the ball. All PSG right now.

We're underway!
Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Ligue 1 clash between PSG and Nantes, stay tuned for the team news and all of the match action.
PSG appear to be getting back to their high standards after a slow start, suffering defeats against Toulouse and Monaco. Recent results have been positive for the French champions with four wins and one draw, taking them up to third in Ligue 1 on the same points as Monaco and just three points behind the current leaders Nice.
PSG had a lot of players out on international duty last week, so many players may be tired after their national team exploits, along with having Wednesday's Champions League game against Arsenal on their mind. However they will be boosted by the inclusion of Edinson Cavani after he picked up a minor injury in training.
Meanwhile their opponents today, Nantes sit 16th place in Ligue 1 and haven't picked up a win in their last three games. They're also the leagues second-lowest scoring side with just nine goals in their 12 games and are coming up against one of the best teams in Europe.
PSG (4-3-3): Trapp; Aurier, T. Silva (C), Kimpembe, Maxwell; Verratti, T. Motta, Matuidi; Di Maria, Augustin, Lucas
CONFIRMED TEAM NEWS...
SUBS: Descamps, Meunier, Krychowiak, Pastore, Cavani, Ben Arfa, Jesé.
Head to head: PSG have won the last eight home fixtures v Nantes going back 12 years and have dominated this fixture. Nantes haven’t tasted victory over PSG since 2004 when a 1-0 win was enough to clinch all three points. Furthermore, PSG have scored 11 goals at home to Nantes in their last three encounters and have conceded just once in those games.
Just over ten minutes until kick-off here at the Parc des Princes, can PSG continue their winning streak or will Nantes cause an upset?
The teams are out and we are almost ready to get underway...
HALF-TIME: PSG 1-0 NANTES
A cool finish for Angel Di Maria has given PSG a 1-0 lead at the interval, but it could and should've been more for the current French champions. Lucas and Augustin both had good chances to score. However Nantes grew into the game and forced Trapp into making good saves at the other end, coming close to grabbing an equalising goal.
The players are back out here at Parc des Princes. Nantes ended the first-half as the better team but PSG will want to come out and make sure they take all three points.
FULL-TIME: PSG 2-0 NANTES
PSG secure a 2-0 victory over Nantes after goals from Di Maria and Jese but Nantes played well and could have come away with something from the game.
Nantes grew into the game and should have taken at least one of their chances when the game was still only 1-0. However the quality of PSG shined through and they eventually wrapped up all three points.
That's all for today folks! Thanks for joining us and enjoy the rest of your evening.
