End of 2nd Half
90+7'
FULL-TIME: PSG 1-2 Nantes
A lacklustre performance from the Parisian giants and an anonymous one too from Mbappe on his 100th Ligue 1 appearance for the club. Not only does it dampen the mood from their progression into the Champions League quarter finals, but it also exposes major flaws in the team.
Incredible win for Les Canaris though, who now move past Nimes into 18th place and only one point off safety.

There's going to be 7 minutes of added time! Yes 7, you read that right.

The introduction of Imran Louza for Blas completes Les Canaris' triple substitution as they seek to defend their 2-1 lead.

GOAL!!! Nantes take a shock lead! Lafont's kick is headed into the path of Kolo Muani, who runs into the box and squares it to Simon for a first-time finish. A long VAR check for offside ensues but the goal stands! 2-1 Nantes.

Pochettino appears to have received instructions from upstairs to take off Di Maria, possibly influenced by the medical team. Sporting director Leonardo seemed very involved in the decision but it perhaps unsettled the team slightly and even looked to have caused confusion between Pochettino and his assistant Jesus Perez.
Either way, Leandro Paredes is on for Di Maria.

Rafinha somehow manages to avoid a second yellow card after a rash challenge on Toure, which prompts Pochettino to promptly remove him from the game in favour of Mauro Icardi.

End of 1st Half
45'
HALF-TIME: PSG 1-0 Nantes.
It's been a mediocre performance from the hosts, albeit one that's good enough for a slight lead but Nantes have every reason to feel aggrieved by the penalty decision that didn't go in their favour. Some bright sparks from them - they might be able to turn it around.
45'
Nantes have a free-kick on the left flank. Simon curls the ball into the box but it's too close to the 'keeper Navas who grabs the ball easily.
