Neymar scored the only goal as Paris St Germain ground out a 1-0 victory over Bordeaux in the Ligue 1. Early celebrations were cut short at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux when Neymar’s ninth-minute opener was deemed to be offside. The 20-year-old forward made an immediate impact, finding Marquinhos who then crossed to Neymar. The opening goal came at last in the 70th minute, with Mbappe racing forward before finding Neymar, who tapped the ball into the bottom left-hand corner. Bordeaux’s counter-attack was then thwarted by Di Maria, who was shown a yellow card for bringing down Nicolas De Preville.
