PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain snapped a four-game winless run by beating Nice 2-1 in the French league on Wednesday.
PSG had lost its past three matches — including back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semifinals — and needed a stoppage-time goal to draw at home with lowly Le Havre.
Record 12-time French champion PSG was missing star striker Kylian Mbappé as he nursed a sore hamstring sustained in Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Toulouse.
It made little difference in Nice as PSG was 2-0 up midway through the first half with goals from winger Bradley Barcola and 18-year-old defender Yoram Zague.
Forward Mohamed-Ali Cho pulled a goal back for Nice in the 32nd. Although Zague was given a tough time by tricky Nice winger Jérémie Boga in the second half, PSG’s defense held firm.
Nice defender Melvin Bard was shown a straight red card in the 75th for body-checking Barcola near the halfway line as he sprinted clear.
