Ligue 1 Results: Vitinha’s Goal Seals PSG’s 1-0 Win Over Nantes

PSG started their Ligue 1 2025/26 campaign with a narrow but important win against Nantes, thanks to a decisive strike from midfielder Vitinha.

Wearing the captain’s armband for the evening, Vitinha broke the deadlock in the 67th minute at La Beaujoire. The goal came after a smart move from the left, with Nuno Mendes providing the assist. Vitinha’s right-footed shot from outside the box took a slight deflection off Chidozie Awaziem before finding the back of the net past Nantes goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.

The match ended 1-0 in favour of Paris Saint-Germain, who dominated possession and created more chances but had to rely on their Portuguese captain to make the breakthrough.

For Vitinha, the moment was special—not only did he score PSG’s first Ligue 1 goal of the season, but he also led the team as skipper on the night. His performance showed both leadership and quality in a tough away fixture.

With this win, PSG collected their first three points of the season and will now look ahead to their next league clash on August 22. For Nantes, despite putting up a fight, it was another frustrating evening as they struggled to break through the Paris defence.
