BASEL, Nov 1 ( Reuters) - Thomas Meunier volleyed a spectacular last-minute goal to give Paris St Germain a 2-1 win at FC Basel, which took them into the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday.

PSG had taken the lead with a Blaise Matuidi goal two minutes before halftime but Basel hit back with a Luca Zuffi effort out of the blue in the 76th minute.

Zuffi's goal appeared to be an intended cross but it caught PSG goalkeeper Alphonse Areola off guard.

PSG, quarter-finalists last season, have 10 points from four games in Group A while Basel have one. (Writing by Brian Homewood; Editing by Toby Davis)
