PSG vs Nice, Ligue 1 live: Welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Nice.

PSG kicks off the game and it is without Kylian Mbappe, who has been rested. He wins the freekick and he thumps it in. A rash of late summer signings seemed like a quick fix and created an unbalance to the side that Nice coach Lucien Favre has yet to resolve. PSG has more time on the ball and it builds up the game slowly and smoothly from the back. Nice makes a quick break, but the passing in the buildup wasn’t accurate enough and that move comes to an end. A cross is floated in from the right and it is Laborde who had the composure to take it down and pump it past Donarumma. Nice tries to regain some of the lost momentum, but it is lacking in the final pass. A bit of Messi magic was all it needed for the game’s balance to turn. It is 1-1 and it is game on! Messi and Bernat link up down the left and Messi shoots with venom, but Schmeichel had that in his sights and punched it away. Messi and Neymar stitch together a move before the Argentinian set up Vitinha to shoot. Mukiele, a second half sub, got past the defense into the right hand byline and he cuts it back for Mbappe for a simple finish.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is making up for a mediocre (by his standards) first season in French football with a rip-snorting start to this one. An eighth Ligue 1 Uber Eats goal of the season was the inevitable outcome (83') to move PSG two points clear of Marseille — 3-0 victors over Angers 24 hours earlier — at the top of the table. Galtier did that with 30 minutes to go, and — as so often already this season — the FIFA World Cup winner delivered.
