PSG retakes Ligue 1 lead after teenager nets first goal in rout at Nice

PARIS (AP) --- Dro Fernndez scored his first goal for Paris Saint-Germain as
it won at struggling Nice 4-0 and reclaimed top spot in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The 18-year-old midfielder joined from Barcelona in January and grabbed his
side's third goal after being neatly set up by Ousmane Dembl in the 81st
minute.
PSG moved one point above Lens, which crushed Angers 5-1 on Friday.
Defending champion PSG has played one game less and the sides meet on April 11
in Lens in what could be a title decider.
Nice competed evenly until a contentious handball decision gave PSG a penalty
late in the first half. Dsir Dou's shot was off target and lightly brushed
the arm of Nice midfielder Morgan Sanson, who was turning his back and
unsighted.
The referee awarded a penalty following a video review and left back Nuno
Mendes scored.
Mendes then set up Dou in the 49th with a cross and, after Nice midfielder
Youssouf Ndayishimiye was sent off on the hour, PSG added late goals from
Fernndez and right back Warren Zare-Emery.
Disability awareness Substitute Emersonn scored a late solo goal to give Toulouse a 1-0 home win against Lorient. The Brazilian forward cut inside the penalty area, beat two defenders and fired in off the underside of the crossbar. The win moved Toulouse up to ninth place. Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes needed brief treatment in stoppage time after receiving a powerful shot from Arsne Kouassi full in the face. He was able to continue. Emersonn almost scored a second goal with another solo effort deep into added time. Players from both sides had pictograms of different disabilities on their jerseys instead of their names as part of a disability awareness campaign aimed at providing better facilities in soccer stadiums for those with disabilities. The game featured an accessible shuttle service; an audio description service; visual help devices, and spaces specifically designed for sensory and autistic disability. There were also introductory sessions about blind soccer and wheelchair rugby, which both featured at the Paralympic Games in Paris in 2024.
Easier with 10 players Auxerre goalkeeper Donovan Lon was sent off after six minutes but it still secured a 3-0 home win over Brest. He was shown a red card for impeding Rmy Labeau-Lascary. American-born defender Bryan Okoh scored twice with powerful headers and Cameroon forward Danny Namaso added the third midway through the second half with a fine run and shot. Auxerre remained in 16th place --- which is the promotion-relegation playoff with the side finishing third in Ligue 2 --- but closed the gap on 15th-placed Nice to five points. -__ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
