LIGUE 1Bordeaux     1-1     NiceMarseille     3-1     RennesLille     1-2     PSGPARIS - Paris Saint-Germain registered their first win of the new Ligue 1 season on Sunday night as a first-half double from Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped the capital club to a 2-1 triumph at Lille.PSG’s Qatari owners must have been getting restless after seeing their expensively-assembled team limp to three draws in their opening three games, but their signature summer signing Ibrahimovic was the star of the show at Lille’s impressive new Grand Stade.Coach Carlo Ancelotti responded to an impotent attacking display in last Sunday’s goalless home stalemate against Bordeaux by restoring Marco Verratti and Jeremy Menez to his starting line-up, and the latter provided a fine assist for the opening goal, which arrived after just 27 seconds.His cushioned pass allowed Ibrahimovic to slot past Lille ‘keeper Mickael Landreau from the left-hand side of the area to give the visitors a dream start. However, Lille responded like a side whose confidence had been buoyed by their midweek win against FC Copenhagen which took them into the Champions League group stage, and they were level 11 minutes later when Aurelien Chedjou stole in front of Ibrahimovic to head home a corner.
