Paris Saint-Germain beat Troyes 1–0 at the Parc des Princes on November 7. Zabarnyi headed in after Mayulu delivered from a short-corner move in the 39th minute.
It was Paris’s eleventh consecutive victory in all competitions. This time, one finish and sustained concentration were needed to turn their advantage into three points.

Mayulu hit the woodwork twice, while Torres repeatedly found Konaté in his way. CulturePSG highlighted Mayulu’s movement toward goal as well as his part in creating the winner.
Sofascore recorded a 15–8 shot advantage for Paris and 7–3 in shots on target, with six saves by Konaté. Those stops explain why the visitors stayed within reach despite the home pressure.
Control was clear; the final touch can improve

Paris held 73 percent possession, but territory did not automatically become a large margin. Troyes narrowed the spaces and waited for counters, making the quality of the final action important.
The next improvement is a cleaner connection between creating and finishing. An earlier second goal would reduce the weight carried by every late counterattack.
Troyes kept the result alive

Ripart missed a second-half opportunity, and an 83rd-minute Maronnier follow-up was ruled out for offside. Paris never created a scoreline that allowed them to relax.
Zabarnyi’s goal stood out, but the defensive work and Safonov’s contribution mattered too. A narrow win can strengthen resilience while reminding a team to stay organised after long spells of possession.
Keep the winning momentum and the unfinished work
