Matuidi won ownership back somewhere down in the guests' half and after Cavani's backheel liberated Di Maria, his twisting shot from 25 yards left Pionnier defenseless. 

Trapp needed to spare well from Paul Lasne's low drive as the guests - who beat PSG at home before in the season - kept on making possibilities. 

Hilton cleared a Di Maria exertion off the line following 61 minutes and Ryad Boudebouz nearly scored an incredible solo exertion, just for his drive to streak barely over the edge. 

Pionnier obstructed a Cavani exertion with his legs, Di Maria let go wide and Serge Aurier headed over the crossbar as PSG tried to expand their favorable position, yet a 2-0 win sufficiently demonstrated for Unai Emery's men to claim best spot.
