Lille created the game's first chance when Nolan Roux produced a menacing run before laying the ball off to Salomon Kalou, but the striker could not connect properly and the chance was wasted.
Vincent Enyeama denied Ezequiel Lavezzi on two separate occasions, with the keeper producing saves to keep out a left-footed effort and a header.
PSG wasted a fantastic opportunity midway through the half when Zlatan Ibrahimovic lashed an impressive cross into the box, but Thiago Silva somehow managed to miss from just three yards out by turning the ball over the bar.
However, Ibrahimovic was on hand again to ensure that PSG took the lead, as he hammered the ball into the top corner with his right foot.
Silva could have increased the hosts' lead late on in the first half when he connected with a header from a corner, but the ball crashed into Roux on its way to goal.

The visitors then took the lead straight after half time as Kalou was able to convert from the spot in the 52nd minute, following a poor challenge from Lucas Digne.
PSG missed the perfect chance to equalise in the 68th minute. Ibrahimovic fed Javier Pastore, but the substitute was unable to sort his feet out in time, allowing the Lille defence to clear with ease.

The French champions were handed a reprieve in the 71st minute when Marko Basa accidentally flicked the ball into his own goal to leave things level at 2-2.
The hosts were wasteful in the closing minutes of the game with Pastore the culprit as he hit a tame shot at the keeper, before Ibrahimovic almost gave PSG victory with a stunning right-footed strike that whistled over the crossbar.
However, the biggest villain of the night for PSG was Jeremy Menez, who had the ball in front of goal with men to pass to either side of him, but the winger decided to go it alone, with Enyeama somehow managing to make a save in the dying seconds.
