It meant heartbreak for Lille who were denied a first league victory over the champions since 2021.
There was no Bradley Barcola for PSG ahead of his expected €140 million (£120M / $163M) move to Liverpool, nevertheless Luis Enrique was able to send out a strong lineup, including a first league start for new singing Ferran Torres following his two goals as a substitute against Rennes.
The breakthrough for the home side came in the 21st minute. Olivier Giroud, a month short of his 39th birthday, played the ball to Haraldsson who made space and fired behind Matvei Safonov from outside the box.
And Lille look assured of the points when, six minutes from the end, Giroud again was the catalyst, this time teeing up Bakwa who marked his debut after moving on loan from Nottingham Forest with a left-footed strike into the top corner.
