PENALTY! Meunier brings down Cafu in the left of the PSG box. Malcolm to take.
86'
Still all PSG. Very little going on in this game now. Bordeaux showed signs of keeping the game a competition at 3-1 down in the first half but a 5-1 lead at half time was far too much to overturn.
82'
Malcolm is over a free-kick on the right of the box. he curls it well towards the near post but it just swerves away and brushes the side netting. No real life in this Bordeaux attack really. The game is ticking down to what would be a very, very comfortable PSG win.

François Kamano is replaced by Jonathan Renato Barbosa.
72'

52'
Bordeaux are coming forward at pace and in numbers everytime they get the ball here but PSG are equally doing as much as they can to slow the game down whenever they regain possession. Nothing going for either side in the final third in these opening stages of the second half.

Bordeaux trying to use the wings to get in behind this PSG defence. Pellenard bursts down the left and fires a low cross towards the edge of the six yard box. It is cleared by PSG though. All Bordeaux at the moment.

36'
Bordeaux starting to show why they are the current third placed team in the league. They didn't crumble at 3-0 down and are looking like the stronger side now as they control possession.

This PSG onslaught has showed no signs of slowing as they come forward wave after wave. They are playing with style and confidence and Bordeaux are struggling to hold them out. Something surely needs to change if Bordeaux are to have any hope of recovering in this tie.
21'
T. Meunier has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by Yuri.
Thomas Meunier gets on the score sheet and it is all too easy for the home side. Yuri's cross from the left of the box is dummied by Mbappe before falling to Meunier inside the 18 yard box.

He was allowed far too much space and Bordeaux are all over the place defensively at the moment.

Bordeaux get us underway, kicking right to left.
Good afternoon and welcome to our live text commentary of today’s Ligue 1 game between Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes.
Paris Saint-Germain have had a strong start to their Ligue 1 season, winning all six of their opening fixtures before a surprise goalless draw away to Montpellier. Despite that, the Parisians continue to be in fine form following their impressive 3-0 victory over German champions Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Unai Emery’s side are unbeaten in nine games across all competitions so far this season and a win here today would put PSG three points clear of title rivals Monaco.
PSG might be favourites to win this tie today but Bordeaux could prove to be very tricky customers. Jocelyn Guorvennec’s side are currently third in the Ligue 1 table, four points adrift of the hosts and are the only other unbeaten side in the league, alongside with PSG.
Although Bordeaux remain unbeaten in the league they have drawn three of those seven games. They are the lowest scoring side of the top three with 13 goals, compared to PSG’s 21 and Monaco’s 22, so might have to rely on their defensive capabilities to get a positive result here today.
There’s just over 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this afternoon…
Paris Saint-Germain XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Meunier, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Yuri; Verratti, Rabiot; Mbappe, Draxler, Neymar; Cavani.
Paris Saint-Germain Substitutes: Trapp, Silva, Alves, Lo Celso, Nkunku, Moura, Di Maria.
Bordeaux XI (4-3-3): Costil; Sabaly, Toulalan, Jovanovic, Pellenard; Lerager, Otavio, Sankhare; Malcom, De Preville, Kamano.
PSG make four changes to the side that defeated Bayern Munich in their midweek Champions League tie. Dani Alves and Thiago Silva drop to the bench in favour of Thomas Meunier and Presnel Kimpembe.Yuri Berchiche and Julian Draxler replace Layvin Kurzawa and Thiago Motta, who do not make the squad at all.
There are no changes to the Bordeaux side that beat Guingamp 3-1 last weekend. Gourvennec has tasked his same starting eleven with the task of facing off against the league leaders this afternoon.
The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
HALF-TIME: Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 Bordeaux.
A thrilling game and an absolutely devastating attacking display from PSG. Every time they have come forward they have tore through the Bordeaux defence and created chance after chance. Neymar has been a stand out performer, scoring two goals and assisting one in the first half, but PSG's all round team performance has been brilliant. Bordeaux looked to have recovered at 3-1 and started to take the game to the home side but the game was taken far beyond their reach after Neymar's penalty and Draxler's stunning volley.
The players are coming back out onto the pitch, ahead of the start of the second half.
FULL-TIME: Paris Saint-Germain 6-2 Bordeaux
A brilliant and dominant performance by Paris Saint-Germain and they fully deserved the three points today. Bordeaux showed signs of recovering at 3-1 down but the 5-1 scoreline seemed to take the wind out of their sails, and the second half became nothing more than a formality as the away side never looked like troubling Unai Emery's side. PSG go three points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
