Goals from Edinson Cavani and Blaise Matuidi give Paris Saint-Germain a 2-0 lead at the break in their Ligue 1 clash against Nantes.

Paris Saint-Germain are in control of their Ligue 1 clash against Nantes as they lead 2-0 at the break at the Stade de la Beaujoire.

The visitors opened the scoring in just the second minute of the game as Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not closed down on the edge of the area and allowed to get a shot away.

His strike was deflected into the path of Gregory van der Wiel and Edinson Cavani, who connected at the same time to guide the ball past Remy Riou, although the Uruguayan claimed the goal.

Cavani had the chance to double his tally for the evening when he latched on to a through-ball down the right, ignoring the supporting run of Ibrahimovic only to see his strike well saved by Riou.

Laurent Blanc's men were well and truly on top and Blaise Matuidi did well to slide a pass into the inside left channel for Cavani to race on to, but the striker was yet again denied by a solid stop from Riou.

The home side tried to hit back with an opportunity of their own and a scramble in the PSG box almost presented a chance to Johan Audel as he tried a first-time volley, but his effort went narrowly over the bar.

The visitors doubled their lead when Ibrahimovic released the run of Matuidi through the middle of the Nantes defence and the midfielder maintained his composure to fire the ball past Riou.

Nicolas Douchez was called upon to deny Alejandro Bedoya as the forward guided a header towards the top corner, with the keeper diving to his right to palm the ball away.

Just before the break, the Nantes defence parted to allow Ibrahimovic to blast an effort at goal, but the keeper held firm to deny the Swede and keep his side in the match.
