November 01, (THEWILL) — Goncalo Ramos netted a stoppage-time winner to hand Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 triumph over Nice at Parc des Princes on Saturday.
The substitute’s 94th-minute strike delivered three vital points for Luis Enrique’s side after a difficult afternoon in the capital.
The result guaranteed PSG would remain at the summit of Ligue 1 going into Sunday, regardless of second-placed Monaco’s later clash with Paris FC.
Nice arrived in confident form, having claimed victory on their previous two league visits to Parc des Princes.
The visitors nearly broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute when Juma Bah’s effort required a goal-line clearance from Khvica Kvaratskhelia.
PSG increased their attacking intensity after half-time. Vitinha tested goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf with a powerful distance shot, whilst Ramos, introduced with 18 minutes left, sent a swivelling attempt just wide of the target.
The hosts had drawn three of their preceding four league matches and appeared destined for another stalemate.
However, Ramos changed the narrative in added time.
Lee Kang-in delivered a corner that Kvaratskhelia flicked on, allowing the Portuguese forward to head home from close range.
The dramatic late intervention kept PSG clear at the top and ended Nice’s recent run of success in Paris.
Enrique’s team avoided further dropped points in what had been a frustrating contest until the final moments.
