Paris Saint-Germain continued their winning streak in the French football league, securing their seventh consecutive victory by narrowly defeating visitors Troyes 1-0 on Saturday at the "Parc des Princes" stadium, in the tenth round of the competition.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain took sole possession of the top spot in the standings, raising their tally to 23 points, three points ahead of neighbors Paris FC, who sit in second place, while Troyes remained stuck on 8 points, suffering their sixth loss of the season and staying temporarily in sixteenth place.
Paris Saint-Germain started the match with early attacking pressure and nearly opened the scoring after just four minutes, when Portuguese player Vitinha played a through ball to Senny Mayulu, but Burkinabé Troyes goalkeeper Hillel Konaté saved the young striker's shot before the ball rebounded off the crossbar.
The home side managed to open the scoring in the 39th minute following a short corner kick taken by Désiré Doué towards Mayulu, who delivered a cross to the far post, which Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi met with a header to send the ball into the net.
Troyes nearly equalized in the final minutes when Lucas Maroney scored with seven minutes remaining, following up a rebound from goalkeeper Savonov, but the goal was disallowed for offside, allowing Paris Saint-Germain to claim the three points.
