Paris St Germain secured their first Ligue 1 win of the season with a straightforward 2-0 success at home to Bastia, despite being rocked by a first-half injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Sweden international left the pitch in the opening stages with a back problem, but the hosts still took the lead on 26 minutes through Lucas Moura.

Edinson Cavani then wrapped up the win just before the hour mark to help the champions get over last week's disappointing draw with Reims.

Toulouse recovered from their opening-day defeat to Nice by seeing off Lyon 2-1.

Alain Casanova's men were shaded in a five-goal thriller a week ago, but Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro opened the scoring 10 minutes in and Wissam Ben Yedder doubled their advantage as the break approached.

That gave them the cushion they needed and they survived Alexandre Lacazette pulling one back for Lyon in the second half.

Rennes got their Ligue 1 campaign up and running with a stylish 6-2 rout of Evian on Saturday night.

Ola Toivonen, Mexer and Paul-Georges Ntep shared the goals as the hosts fashioned the perfect response to their defeat against Lyon on the opening weekend of the season.

Daniel Wass replied twice for Evian but they have yet to register a point and face the daunting prospect of a meeting with defending champions PSG in their next league fixture.

Substitute Ladislas Douniama scored a last-gasp winner for Guingamp as they defeated Lens 1-0 at the Stade De La Licorne, while Metz and Nantes shared the points in a 1-1 draw.

Jordan Veretout put Nantes ahead after just two minutes, but the hosts were level within 10 minutes when Yeni N'Gbakoto converted from the penalty spot.

Lorient and Nice remain unbeaten after a goalless draw at the Stade du Moustoir.
