Layvin Kurzawa's second goal in as many matches gave Paris Saint-Germain a winning start to its Ligue 1 title defense.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery was thrilled with the patience shown by the Ligue 1 champion in its narrow win over Bastia and praised the impact made by his substitutes.
Layvin Kurzawa's goal 17 minutes from time gave PSG a narrow 1-0 victory in Corsica on Friday as it started its pursuit of a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title with three points.
PSG struggled going forward for much of the match without the injured Edinson Cavani - a stark contrast to its free-flowing 4-1 win over Lyon in the Trophee des Champions last time out.
