Ousmane Dembélé missed a penalty but Fabián Ruiz struck the winner as Paris Saint-Germain beat Angers 1-0 in their first Ligue 1 home match of the season on Friday.
Dembélé, seen as a frontrunner for next month’s Ballon d’Or, fired his spot kick over the bar after João Neves earned the penalty midway through the first half.

PSG kept control of the match and broke the deadlock five minutes after the restart, when Fabián finished from the center of the area in the 50th minute. The victory extended PSG’s winning streak at home against Angers to 11 matches.
Luis Enrique’s side has now won all three games this season, bouncing back strongly after losing last month’s Club World Cup final to Chelsea. They recently lifted the European Super Cup with a penalty shootout win over Tottenham and also opened their league campaign with a 1-0 win at Nantes.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was again left out of the squad, with new signing Lucas Chevalier starting between the posts. Donnarumma confirmed his departure from PSG ahead of the Super Cup clash.
