Paris Saint-Germain was short of its best form as the club opened the Ligue 1 season, but still recorded a narrow win over Bastia.
A late goal from Layvin Kurzawa saw Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain open the defense of the title with a 1-0 win at Bastia.
Bastia should have taken a first-half lead – with Enzo Crivelli missing a golden chance – and the side paid the price when left back Kurzawa netted the winner in the closing stages after good work from Jese Rodriguez on his debut.
Compared to the impressive 4-1 win over Lyon in the Trophee des Champions last time out, in which Kurzawa also scored, this was a far from vintage performance from PSG.
