Paris Saint-Germain secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Troyes on Saturday, with defender Illia Zabarnyi's header proving the difference at the Parc des Princes. The win extends the Ligue 1 champions' lead at the top of the table to three points.
Zabarnyi rose above the Troyes defense to connect with a set-piece delivery, directing the ball past the goalkeeper for the only goal of the match. The Ukrainian international's decisive contribution came in a tightly contested fixture where PSG dominated possession but struggled to break down a resilient Troyes side.
The result maintains PSG's strong start to their title defense as they continue to set the pace in the French top flight. Troyes, meanwhile, remain in the lower reaches of the table after failing to capitalize on limited counter-attacking opportunities.
