Substitute Ramos Rescues PSG with Last-Minute Header
1 Nov
Summary
- Substitute Gonçalo Ramos scores winner in final seconds
- PSG struggle to create chances against well-organized Nice
- Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé starts on the bench
On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain narrowly defeated Nice 1-0 at home, thanks to a last-minute header from substitute Gonçalo Ramos.
The match was a tight affair, with PSG dominating possession but struggling to break down a well-organized Nice defense. Coach Luis Enrique was missing injured forward Désiré Doué and opted to start Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé on the bench, likely with an eye on the upcoming Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.
The game appeared to be heading for a draw until the final seconds of stoppage time. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's right-wing corner was headed on by Ramos, who nodded the ball home from close range to snatch all three points for the home side.
Earlier in the second half, PSG midfielder Vitinha had a powerful shot well saved by Nice goalkeeper Yéhvann Diouf, who also denied Ramos with a point-blank header in the fourth minute of added time. However, Diouf was ultimately let down by his defense on the decisive corner.
The narrow victory means PSG maintain their lead at the top of Ligue 1, though the top six teams are separated by just two points heading into the 11th round of the season.
