Lionel Messi scored the winner as Paris St-Germain moved back in possession of first place in Ligue 1, but it took no less than a war to get there as they hung on for a 1-0 victory over Lyon.
Messi found the net inside five minutes with a smart first-time finish after combining with Neymar, who made his seventh assist in the league this term.
It was a sixth PSG goal in all competitions this season for Messi.
It’s interesting to see that the projected goals somewhat support the final score, which is 0.99 for Lyon and 1.09 for PSG. Although the hosts should have scored, Anthony Lopes’ effort in stopping the visitors from scoring felt commendable. A final score of one goal in a game with a total of 27 shots between the two sides is astonishing. Regard PSG’s perseverance in seeing this one through.
Later on, Sergio Ramos also had the ball in the goal, but he was offside.
PSG currently leads Marseille, who have also failed to drop a match this year, by two points.
