Result: Paris Saint-Germain v Nice

Date: 04 May 2019

Venue: Parc di Princes

Edinson Cavani had a late penalty saved Paris Saint-Germain dropped points at home to Nice in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening.

Cavani made a return to the line up alongside Neymar and Angel di Maria, while Kylian Mbappe missed out through suspension.

Thomas Tuchel's men dominated from the onset, but they had to wait until the 24th minute for an opening as Di Maria forced Walter Benitez into a fine save.

Nice went agonisingly close two minutes later as Atal rattled the crossbar after his initial strike was saved by  Alphonse Areola.

The PSG front trio looked lively at times in the first half, but the visiting defence remain solid to ensure the first half ended goalles.

The visitors stunned the hosts directly after the break, with former Bayern Munich star Dante sending a half-volley past Areola.

With an hour played, PSG were handed a lifeline after being awarded a penalty, which Neymar duly converted to restore parity.

Tuchel responded with a double change six minutes later as Moussa Diaby and Kurzawa replaced Julian Draxler and Paredes.

The Ligue 1 champions threw everything forward in  search of a winning goal, but the visitors remained resolute in the 18-yard box.

Dante then went from hero to villain for Nice in the 91st when the referee awarded PSG a second penalty after a VAR review. Cavani took responsibility this time, but saw his effort saved by Benitez as the encounter ended level pegging.
