PARIS (AP) \u2014 Paris Saint-Germain clinched a record-extending 14th French league title after winning 2-0 at closest rival Lens on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

PSG needed only a draw to seal a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 crown and is now nine points ahead of Lens with one game left.<\/p>\n

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored in the 29th minute and Ibrahim Mbaye added the second goal in stoppage time after Lens missed several chances to score at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.<\/p>\n

The match was rescheduled from April 11 by the French league to help titleholder PSG\u2019s ambitions in the Champions League. PSG takes on Premier League leader Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30 in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Although the postponement was strongly contested by Lens, coach Pierre Sage\u2019s side had no say in the matter.<\/p>\n

Lens also has a final to prepare for \u2014 against Nice in the French Cup on May 22 \u2014 and Sage left his two best forwards \u2014 wingers Florian Thauvin and Allan Saint-Maximin \u2014 on the bench against PSG until the hour mark.<\/p>\n

Clinical versus wasteful<\/h3>\n

PSG punished a Lens error when forward Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 intercepted a sloppy pass from defender Malang Sarr and fed Kvaratskhelia, who scored with a clinical finish.<\/p>\n

PSG scored in stoppage time through Mbaye, the 18-year-old forward who thumped a pass from D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9 in off the crossbar moments after Lens had fluffed yet another chance.<\/p>\n

Lens should already have been level \u2014 or even ahead \u2014 at the break but striker Wesley Sa\u00efd misjudged a close-range header and then shot straight at goalkeeper Matvei Safonov in first-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Safonov kept out another effort from Abdallah Sima early in the second half when the striker went clean through. Sima then hit the post after collecting a superb pass from Thauvin in the 74th. <\/p>\n

Saint-Maximin was dangerous when he came on in the second half but wasted several good situations when excessively trying to put himself in the perfect shooting position.<\/p>\n

The last team to stop PSG winning the title was Lille in 2021. This season was closer than the last, however, when PSG sealed the title without losing and with six games left.<\/p>\n

Strasbourg wins<\/h3>\n

In the other match, Strasbourg won 2-1 at Brest in a game also rescheduled because of Strasbourg\u2019s involvement in the UEFA Conference League, where it lost to Rayo Vallecano in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Defender Valentin Barco and midfielder Sebastian Nanasi scored for Strasbourg either side of a goal from Brest striker Ludovic Ajorque in a lively opening.<\/p>\n

Strasbourg will finish the season in eighth and Brest was 12th heading into the final round of Ligue 1 games on Sunday. ___<\/p>\n
