PARIS --

Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his return to form with his second goal in a week as Paris Saint-Germain beat Nice 1-0 on Saturday to stay within one point of French league leader Marseille.

Ibrahimovic, who missed nearly two months of the season with a heel injury, slotted a penalty into the bottom corner in the 15th minute after Brazilian winger Lucas Moura had been bundled over.

The Sweden star got PSG's second of the game in a 3-1 win against Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Ibrahimovic, the league's top scorer for the past two seasons, has scored six league goals so far. He had not scored in the league since a hat trick against Saint-Etienne on Aug. 31.

Marseille beat Nantes 2-0 on Friday night and has 34 points after 15 games.
