41'
Saves! Green is called into action twice in a matter of moments. First he has to be alert to push Hakimi's cross wide as Neymar was ready and waiting to pounce. And then Neymar stings his gloves with a shot from an acute angle, forcing a corner.
39'
Mbappe is flagged offside as he runs onto Ramos' ball out of defence. Since having a goal disallowed, PSG haven't really troubled Green in Saint-Etienne's goal.
38'
Khazri spots Donnarumma off his line and unloads with an effort from the halfway line! However, the shot is lacking accuracy and doesn't come close to doubling Saint-Etienne's lead.
37'
Another nervy moment in the PSG defence as Khazri picks up the ball in a dangerous area and threads it through for Aouchiche. However, he can't sort his feet out and nothing comes of the opportunity.
35'
Another yellow card! This time for Saint-Etienne's captain Camara for a foul on Gueye.
33'
And now Bernat is the first PSG player to receive a yellow card.

Boudebouz goes into the book for an apparent shove on Neymar as tempers heat up in freezing temperatures.

Di Maria is always stretching to reach Mbappe's lobbed ball and the Argenine can't quite bring it under control.
25'
The snow is coming down thick and fast again! The miserable weather will sum up Pochettino's current mood. His side will have to come from behind to pick up the points as their fragile defence has been breached once again.
23'
GOAL! Saint-Etienne 1-0 Paris Saint-Germain (Denis Bouanga): Khazri, with the outside of the boot, picks out Kolodziejczak at the far post with a beautiful pass. His weak shot is saved by Donnarumma but Bouanga converts with the rebound. The linesman's flag is quickly raised, but after another lengthy VAR check the goal is given! Once again PSG concede first!

Defenders swarm around Mbappe as he receives the ball on the right flank, he keeps running and running but eventually loses possession and concedes a free-kick.
19'
Neymar is back on his feet and fit to continue.
18'
Neymar is taken out by Sissoko and the Brazilian, having rolled around a bit, remains on the ground, holding his ankle. The referee produces his first yellow card of the afternoon.
16'
Di Maria is searching for the run of Messi with a clipped ball over the top but plays it straight into the arms of Green.
15'
Marquinhos rises highest to meet the corner delivery but can't keep his header down.
14'
Big save! Mbappe is through on goal, you're just waiting for the net to bulge... but England's U21 goalkeeper Green sticks out a leg and keeps his effort out!
13'
Gueye commits a foul and Saint-Etienne have a free-kick, which they play short. Boudebouz eventually whips it in from a wide position but it's a poor delivery and PSG have a goal-kick.
10'
Bouanga and Ramos collide with the Saint-Etienne player coming off the worst. He's holding his knee and limping but should be able to run this off.
8'
Not quite sure why it took so long, Neymar was clearly in an offside position. His tricky spell in front of goal continues for now.
7'
Goal ruled out! Di Maria pulls the ball back for Messi, who rolls it to Neymar for a simple tap-in. Was he offside? VAR is checking... it's taking an age but eventually the referee signals that it won't count.
4'
Saint-Etienne are playing a back five out of possession today.
