Paris Saint Germain secured their third win of the season against Montpellier courtesy of Blaise Matuidi’s goal. Matuidi had scored in the 2-0 win over Ajaccio in week two, and came up with the goods from close range in the 61st minute at Montpellier’s Stade de la Mosson.

It was a very open game in which either team could have broken the deadlock in the first half, but somehow the sides went into the break goalless. PSG were dealt a blow early on with the loss of Javier Pastore to injury and also had two goals ruled out for offside.

However, Matuidi’s strike proved enough for the champions, who are still missing star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a knee injury and have yet to give new signing Angel Di Maria his debut.
