Download Nice vs PSG 1 − 0 (Ligue 1 2022 Goals & Highlights)

A Kylian Mbappe-less Paris Saint-Germain misfired in his absence in their table-topping Ligue 1 clash with Nice, as Mauricio Pochettino's side were downed 1-0 by a late Andy Delort strike at Allianz Riviera.

Christophe Galtier's hosts snatched a dramatic late victory over the league leaders in Saturday's contest to move into second place as their visitors struggled to deliver without the France forward leading their ranks.

The attacker, top of the leaderboard for combined goals and assists in Ligue 1 this term, missed out as he served a one-match suspension following his yellow card against Nantes last month.

Though Les Parisiens remain comfortably entrenched at the front of the title race, 13 points clear of their opponents, they will hope to rediscover their spark in time for next week's Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

With just two shots on target all night, they would have been hard-pressed to say that they deserved a share of the spoils, as both Lionel Messi and Neymar failed to pick up the slack left behind by the lack of Mbappe’s presence.

In a game low on glowing chances, Khephren Thuram was unable to turn a neat flat pass home six yards out for the hosts in the second half, while Thilo Kehrer pushed a soft header straight to Walter Benitez off a Neymar free-kick.

A scintillating Angel Di Maria break suggested PSG would be able to snatch a late winner – but instead, they found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreline when Delort dispatched into the top-right corner in the 88th minute.

The visitors dodged a late penalty call from VAR following a foul on Jordan Lotomba deep into stoppage time, but by then, it was too late to undo the damage, condemning them to a second loss in their last three league games.
