OGC Nice 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain: Champions defeat 10-man hosts to end their top four hopes

Paris St Germain defeated 10-man Nice 2-1 away in Ligue 1 on Wednesday, denying the hosts a top-four finish.

PSG, who have already won the title and are preparing for the Coupe de France final on May 25, have 73 points, while Nice are fifth with 54 points. With one match remaining, they are four points behind fourth-placed Brest, ensuring they will not qualify for the Champions League.

Bradley Barcola opened the scoring for Luis Enrique's team in the 18th minute, with Yoram Zague adding a second five minutes later.

Nice scored before the break through Mohamed-Ali Cho, who was set up by Jeremie Boga.

However, their hopes of equalising were dashed when Melvin Bard was sent off in the 75th minute for a foul on Barcola.
