Goncalo Ramos secured a dramatic win for Paris Saint-Germain with a stoppage-time goal, giving the Ligue 1 leaders a 1-0 victory over OGC Nice at the Parc des Princes. The late winner consolidated PSG's position at the top of the table.
Nice, despite being underdogs, had been on a three-match winning streak, but they failed to make a significant impact in the match. The first half was surprisingly uneventful, with PSG dominating the shots on target, but Nice's goalkeeper making crucial saves to keep the scoreline goalless at halftime.
The match between PSG and Nice was intense, with Bradley Barcola testing Yehvann Diouf's reflexes early on. Diouf made an impressive save on Barcola's powerful drive from outside the penalty area, just shy of the 15-minute mark. Meanwhile, Achraf Hakimi's effort fell short as he failed to muster enough power on a lofted ball inside the box, allowing Diouf to make another crucial save.
The first half concluded without any goals, a result that Nice might not have minded given their recent form. Despite their efforts, Nice couldn't find the back of the net, marking the first time in six away league matches they'd failed to score.
However, with 10 of Nice’s previous 12 games seeing both teams score, there was something of a trend to fuel the hopes of fans, commentators, and writers alike that this one could spark into life.
That wasn’t the case in the opening skirmishes of the second half, though, as PSG probed and enjoyed a fair amount of territorial dominance to no satisfactory effect.
The match remained tense until the three-quarter mark when PSG had their next significant chance. Vitinha latched onto a pass and unleashed a powerful shot towards the top-right corner, but Diouf made an incredible save, tipping the ball wide at full stretch.
Never give up ❤️💙

The game saw a shift in momentum after both teams made double substitutions. PSG, with their superior squad depth, took advantage and stepped up their intensity under Luis Enrique's guidance.
Goncalo Ramos was a constant threat in the final 10 minutes, creating scoring opportunities with a flicked header on target and a shot that hit the post. Meanwhile, Nice's attempts to catch PSG off guard were sporadic, with Jérémie Boga's tame shot being one of their more notable efforts.
In a display of champion mentality, PSG persisted until the very end. The game-winning moment came with the final action of the night, as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's flick-on from a corner found Ramos, who headed home the decisive goal, crushing Nice's hopes.
The win leaves PSG four points clear at the top of Ligue 1, while Nice's defeat puts them at risk of falling five points behind the European spots.
