Angel Di Maria showed his value as he set up the first and scored the victor to give Paris St Germain a 2-1 success against champions Lille in Ligue 1 after Lionel Messi limped off harmed on Friday.
Without any Kylian Mbappe, who is experiencing a contamination, Di Maria sparkled all through the game, giving skipper Marquinhos the equalizer after Jonathan David's opener prior to tracking down the rear of the net a short ways from time.
The two teams went start to finish in an engaging opening half yet Lille showed more balance and it took a heavenly save from Gianluigi Donnarumma to deny Burak Yilmaz in the main moment.
Lille, who deserved better after a convincing first half, are 11th with 15 points.
Lille, looking more like the team that overwhelmed the association last season, were compensated in the 31st moment when David opened his right foot to redirect Yilmaz's amazing cross into the top of the net from point-clear reach.
Messi, who presently can't seem to score for PSG in five association appearances, was supplanted by Mauro Icardi as he had all the earmarks of being as yet experiencing the muscle issue that constrained him to miss preparing with the group on Thursday.
"It was a precautionary measure, and we trust he will be accessible for the game against Leipzig," said mentor Mauricio Pochettino, alluding to Wednesday's Champions League Group A game.
Lille verged on multiplying the count through David yet Donnarumma pulled one more splendid save to keep the home side above water.
The Italy manager was busy again to tip away a whipped shot from Yilmaz in the blink of an eye before the hour.
Be that as it may, Angel Di Maria and Neymar were a consistent danger as PSG began to heap the strain. It paid off in the 74th moment when Marquinhos hooked onto a brilliant flung cross from Di Maria to make it 1-1.
PSG verged on acquiring the benefit a short ways from time yet Ivo Grbic parried Icardi's low shot with his right foot.
The champ came soon after when Di Maria coolly opened the ball past Grbic with a low shot from Neymar's pass inside the crate.
