Paris FC edge Strasbourg in tight tussle

Paris FC claimed a 2-1 victory over Strasbourg in Ligue 1, with I. Kebbal opening the scoring in the first half and P. Pagis doubling the lead after the break. Strasbourg's M. Mbow inadvertently added to Paris FC's tally with an own goal late on, but it was not enough to salvage a point. Fipster's high-confidence prediction for a home win was spot on, though the exact scoreline proved a bit optimistic.
