The two teams provided a lively spectacle which ended with PSG stretching their lead to 17 points over Monaco. Edinson Cavani of PSG hit a post from close range in the first half after hesitation in the Nice defence. Mario Balotelli forced a flying save from PSG keeper Alphonse Areola and later hit the bar with a header. At the other end, Di Maria forced a full-stretch save from Benitez with a daring volleyed back flick. Kylian Mbappe, who seemed out of touch, wasted a glorious close-range chance with 12 minutes left.
