Paris FC beat Nice 3-0 at the Stade Jean Bouin for their first win back in Ligue 1
Lassine Sinayoko scored from the spot at 21', Samir Chergui added the second early in the second half, and Vincent Marchetti finished it at 89'. Nice had more of the ball and 0.65 expected goals to show for it.
Paris FC returned to Ligue 1 this month and opened with a goalless draw. Their second game brought the first win: 3-0 at home to Nice, and it was more comfortable than a one-goal half suggested.
Lassine Sinayoko converted a penalty at 21'. Samir Chergui made it two at 51'. Vincent Marchetti added a third at 89' after Nice had spent an hour with the ball and no way through.
Nice had the ball, Paris FC had the chances
Nice finished with 55% possession and an expected-goals total of 0.65. Paris FC's was 2.88. Kevin Trapp made four saves in the home goal; his opposite number made one.
It is a first Ligue 1 win for the club since promotion and a second game without conceding, for a side that has started the season better than its billing.
