Paris Saint-Germain 1 Nantes 0: Mbappe decisive in Neymar's absence

Neymar missed Paris Saint-Germain's visit of Nantes, but Kylian Mbappe played a decisive role in his absence with the winning goal.

Kylian Mbappe made the difference in the absence of Neymar, scoring the only goal of the game as Paris Saint-Germain beat Nantes 1-0 to end 2018 in victorious fashion.

Brazil star Neymar had been allowed to travel back to his home country to rest following recent struggles with a groin injury, and while PSG missed his craft, they scraped the win nonetheless.

Angel Di Maria looked PSG's biggest threat in the first half, though his two best strikes did not quite hit the target as the hosts failed to make the most of their superiority.
