PARIS Saint-Germain struggled to a 0-0 draw at Ajaccio on Sunday with the big-spending French club's poor start to the season perfectly illustrated by a floodlight failure in injury time.
PSG had been held 2-2 by Lorient in its season-opener last weekend and despite the presence of Jeremy Menez, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Javier Pastore, back from suspension, it was unable to find a way through the Ajaccio defense.
It was all too much for coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Without injured striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and with defender Thiago Silva also missing, the former Chelsea boss was sent to the stands for kicking out at a water bottle, his anger fired by the sending-off of Lavezzi on the hour mark.
The result left PSG on two points and in mid-table with testing encounters against Bordeaux and Lille coming up.
"It's a disappointment because we have the quality. We didn't concede any goals but we didn't create many chances either," said Ancelotti.
"We must work more. Physically, perhaps, we are not 100 percent but with Ibrahimovic and Thiago Motta, we will improve the team's quality."
Marseille made it two wins in two games to go joint top. Inspired by unpredictable striker Andre-Pierre Gignac, Marseille defeated Sochaux 2-0 to go level on six points with leader Lyon, but in second place on goal difference.
Bastia and Bordeaux also have two wins from two games.
