PARIS (AP) — Lionel Messi and Neymar took only five minutes to combine for Paris Saint-Germain’s goal in a 1-0 win at Lyon as leader PSG moved two points clear of second-place Marseille in the French league. Messi started and finished the slick move after exchanging passes with Neymar and curled the ball expertly past the despairing dive of goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo was sent off after just nine seconds in his side’s 1-0 home defeat to Angers. It was the fastest red card in French first division history. Marseille remains unbeaten but dropped points in a 1-1 home draw with Rennes.
