FULL-TIME: PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 5-0 AJACCIO
PSG restore their six-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table and now a victory on Sunday, May 21, against Auxerre would almost secure the league title.
Ajaccio, however, have been relegated following this heavy loss.
BIG MISS
Zaire-Emery spurns a great chance to make it 6-0, slicing the shot wide with the outside of his boot from point-blank range.
SO CLOSE!
Soumano almost gives the travelling supporters something to cheer as his curling effort drifts just wide!
PSG SUBS
Two more changes for the hosts - Soler coming on for Ekitike and Zaire-Emery replaces Bernat.

RED CARD!
After reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor, the referee now shows a red card to Mangani for his part in the melee.

RED CARD!
It has been a mild affair but then out of nowhere, a melee! Messi is being targeted and it's chaos as players from both teams get involved.
Hakimi is then shown his marching orders for his reaction.

GOAL! PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 5-0 AJACCIO (MOHAMED YOUSSOUF OWN GOAL)
Marquinhos is trying to deliver a cross but it takes a wild deflection and the goalkeeper can only stand and watch as the ball nestles in the far corner.
It will go down as a Youssouf own goal.
Own goal
M. Youssouf
FINE SAVE!
Terrific understanding by Messi and Mbappe as the former tees up Vitinha for a shot and his curled effort is pushed around the post by Sollacaro.
PSG SUBS
Diallo has been clutching his leg and it's no surprise that he makes way for Alphonse, while Pereira is replaced by Bitshiabu.
On
M. Alphonse
Off
I. Diallo
OH DEAR
Ajaccio carve up a decent opportunity as a cross is pulled back to Barretto but he leans back and balloons his shot over the bar.
You can see why they have found it difficult to find the net this season with finishing like this.
PSG SUBS
Vitinha and Sanches replace Ruiz - scorer of the opening goal - and Verratti.
On
Vitinha
Off
M. Verratti
JUST LOOK AT MESSI'S REACTION
Doesn't look happy, does he?!
AJACCIO SUBS
Soumando, Nouri and Chegra are on with Spadanuda, Coutaduer and El Idrissy making way.

R. Nouri

M. El Idrissy
CLASSY FROM MESSI
Messi embarks on a trademark run, dancing past about three defenders before pulling off a ridiculous back-heeled pass. The moment of genius is appreciated by most of the home support.
GOAL! PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 4-0 AJACCIO
Oh, what a strike! Ramos' long ball out of defence is headed into the air, dropping kindly for Mbappe who volleys first-time into the back of the net.
Another sublime goal from Mbappe who is now on a hat-trick.
Goal
K. Mbappé
AJACCIO CHANCE
Ramos makes a last-ditch intervention to break up a rare Ajaccio attack. From the resulting corner, Mangani volleys wide.
HOW MANY DO PSG WANT TONIGHT?
If they feel like six or seven you'd fancy their chances.
GOAL! PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 3-0 AJACCIO (KYLIAN MBAPPE)
There is chaos inside the Ajaccio penalty area as the visitors desperately try to scramble a cross clear. They're unsuccessful in their efforts and the ball inevitably drops to Mbappe who sticks away his 24th league goal of the season.
Goal
K. Mbappé
