A stoppage-time goal from Ousmane Dembele has earned Paris St Germain a 1-0 win over AS Monaco in the French Super Cup as the Ligue 1 champions lifted the trophy for the third consecutive season.

Record 13-time winners PSG, who faced last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Monaco after the Parisian side had won both the league and French Cup, won the competition for the 11th time in the last 12 years.

In a lively encounter at Doha's Stadium 974, made from 974 recycled shipping containers for the 2022 World Cup, PSG had 27 chances in Sunday's game - nine of them on target - without breaking the deadlock.

But Dembele ensured the game did not go to penalties when he sealed the win for the French champions two minutes into injury time, netting inside the far post after Fabian Ruiz fed him with a neat pass across the face of the goal.

Summer signing Desire Doue had been close to giving PSG the lead in the ninth minute but hit the bar while Lee Kang-In was denied by Monaco goalkeeper Philipp Kohn with an effort from distance in first-half stoppage time.

Dembele and Vitinha also tested Kohn in the opening 45 minutes while Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Takumi Minamino forced Gianluigi Donnarumma into saves, with the PSG keeper returning to the side after recovering from a facial injury.

It was the first time no goals had been scored in the first half of a French Super Cup contest for the first time since 2010 when Marseille beat PSG 5-4 on penalties after the match ended goalless.

PSG, who beat Nantes and Toulouse in the previous two editions, had also won 4-2 at Monaco last month in Ligue 1 with Dembele scoring a second-half brace.

Four-time winners Monaco last lifted the trophy in 2000. They were runners-up in 2017 and 2018, again losing both times to PSG.

In the French league, Toulouse climbed up to eighth with a 1-0 win at seventh-place Lens, striker Zakaria Aboukhlal scoring from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute.

The goal came shortly after Lens midfielder David Pereira da Costa was shown a second yellow card following a video review and was sent off.

Angers beat Brest 2-0, while Strasbourg rallied to win 3-1 at home to Auxerre and move into 10th.

Esteban Lepaul scored early on for Angers while fellow striker Ibrahima Niane, who replaced Lepaul in the 75th, wrapped up the win in stoppage time.

Strasbourg's goals came from captain Habib Diarra, Felix Lemarechal and forward Emanuel Emegha, after Hamed Traore gave Auxerre an early lead in Alsace.
