PARIS: French champions Paris Saint-Germain’s return to action after the World Cup almost did not go as planned as they scraped a 2-1 win over Strasbourg.

PSG defender Marquinhos scored at both ends while Neymar was sent off after being shown a second yellow card for diving.

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both started for PSG after returning from the World Cup and Mbappe scored a late penalty to grab all three points.
