Right after the opening whistle, PSG quickly controlled the game with superior ball possession time. The continuous pressure of the home team was soon concretized in the 13th minute when the referee consulted VAR and awarded PSG a penalty after the ball touched Nantes player's hand in the penalty area. From the 11m spot, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia successfully converted, opening the score for the Parc des Princes team.
After conceding an early goal, Nantes tried to push up the squad to find an equalizer and once put the ball into PSG's net in the 22nd minute. However, the goal was disallowed due to offside after consulting VAR. Meanwhile, PSG continued to show superiority in the game and squad quality.
In the 37th minute, Desire Doue doubled the score for the home team after an effective coordination of PSG's attack. Stepping into the second half, Kvaratskhelia continued to shine when completing a double in the 50th minute, increasing the score to 3-0 and almost deciding the outcome of the match.
In the remaining time, PSG still maintained great pressure on Nantes' goal. Without the excellence of goalkeeper Anthony Lopes and some saves from the away team's defense, the gap could have been even wider.
With this victory, PSG continues to maintain the top spot in the Ligue 1 standings with 66 points after 29 matches, while creating a 4-point gap with second-placed RC Lens. This result helps the Paris capital team gain an advantage in the race to defend the championship in the important stage of the season.
