Paris, April 26 || Paris Saint-Germain's bid to become the first team to go unbeaten through a Ligue 1 season ended in disappointment on Saturday (IST), as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Nice at the Parc des Princes.
Despite having already clinched the title earlier this month, the loss brought their 30-game unbeaten league run to a halt. PSG remain atop the Ligue 1 table with 78 points while Nice climbed to fourth with 54, boosting their Champions League hopes.
The home side dominated the opening half-hour and created chance after chance but it was the visitors who took the lead through Morgan Sanson as he marked his first start of the season by applying a clinical first-time finish to Badredine Bouanani's through-ball in the 35th minute.
The lead lasted just six minutes as Fabian Ruiz scored with a sumptuous half-volley to level but any thoughts the PSG fans might have had of their side going on to dominate were extinguished 22 seconds into the second half when Sanson scored his second, volleying the ball into the net from close range.
Having scored from their only two shots on target up to that point, the visitors went 3-1 up when Youssouf Ndayishimiye headed home a free kick in the 70th minute.
Nice had been clinical, converting both of their only two shots on target up to that point. They extended their lead in the 70th minute when Youssouf Ndayishimiye headed in a free kick to make it 3-1.
