JAKARTA - Pablo Sarabia scored the only goal for Paris Saint-Germain to overcome Bordeaux in Week 28 of the French League at the Matmut Atlantique Stadium, Wednesday local time.

Sarabia scored his goal in the 20th minute with a touch past Laurent Koscielny as he picked up Idrissa Gueye's cross before firing a cross into the hosts' net, just four minutes after his first chance was cleared by goalkeeper Benoit Costil.

Bordeaux had a good chance to hit back in the 36th minute when Remi Oudin sent in a fine through ball, unfortunately Hwang Ui-jo's curling finish was narrow just outside the net.

In the 67th minute, PSG almost doubled their lead with Julian Draxler's through ball which Mauro Icardi tried to greet with a first-touch shot, but this time Koscielny threw himself up to block the ball.

In the second minute of injury time, goalkeeper Keylor Navas made a resounding save on Jimmy Briand's header for Oudin's cross to seal PSG's win.

According to Antara, the result made PSG move up to second place in the standings with a collection of 60 points, while Bordeaux (33), which had suffered three successive defeats, fell to 15th.
