Ousmane Dembele missed a penalty but Fabian Ruiz scored to help Paris Saint-Germain edge Angers 1-0 in their first home game in Ligue 1.

Dembele, considered a potential Ballon d'Or winner when the award is announced next month, wasted the penalty earned by Joao Neves midway through the first half in Paris on Friday (local time). The France winger blasted the ball well over the crossbar.

PSG, however, continued to control the game, and Fabian made good on the dominance when he right-footed the ball in from the centre of the area in the 50th minute.

His goal extended PSG's home winning run against Angers to 11 straight games.

After losing the Club World Cup final to Chelsea last month, Luis Enrique's team have won their first three games of this new season.

The Champions League winners rallied to beat Tottenham on penalties to lift the European Super Cup last week. They also won at Nantes 1-0 in their French league opener.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was again left off PSG's squad, with newcomer Lucas Chevalier in goal.

Donnarumma said he was parting ways with the team ahead of the European Super Cup.
