Any hopes of a Nantes comeback were effectively ended just after half-time. In the 50th minute, Kvaratskhelia struck again with a regular-play goal, this time set up by Ousmane Dembélé, to make it 3–0 and seal the points for the home side.

PSG picked up two first-half bookings, with Warren Zaïre-Emery cautioned in the 35th minute and Illia Zabarnyi shown yellow six minutes later. Nantes’ Frédéric Guilbert entered the referee’s book shortly after the restart in the 46th minute.

The second half brought a flurry of substitutions as both coaches rotated their squads. PSG introduced Fabián Ruiz, Lucas Hernández and Senny Mayulu on the hour mark, followed by Ibrahim M’Baye and Bradley Barcola in the 65th minute. Nantes responded with changes of their own, bringing on Ignatius Ganago and Dehmaine Assoumani on 65 minutes, Bahmed Deuff in the 73rd, Chidozie Awaziem in the 79th and Youssef El-Arabi in the 80th minute.

Detailed statistics beyond goals, cards and substitutions were not available at the time of writing, but the scoreline underlines a dominant display from PSG, who secured a routine home victory over Nantes in the Paris Saint-Germain vs Nantes clash.
