PARIS (AP) " Paris Saint-Germain needed a late penalty from top scorer Edinson Cavani to scrape home against struggling Nancy 1-0 in the French league on Saturday. PSG moved level with leader Monaco, which has a vastly better goal difference and can restore its three-point lead against Nantes on Sunday. Meanwhile, third-place Nice moved level on points with PSG and Monaco after winning 1-0 away to Dijon. Cavani's penalty was almost saved by goalkeeper Sergey Chernik, who stood up until the last moment and guessed the right way. He netted in a 1-0 win at Lorient two weeks ago " in a match where Balotelli was sent off " and half of his eight goals have been scored away.
