Match Report

There was a six-goal thriller in north-western France on Friday evening as Paris Saint-Germain secured a third consecutive Ligue 1 victory with a 4-2 win over Brest.

Unlike in PSG’s last two fixtures, where goals were scored inside the opening 10 minutes, the Parisians had to wait until 23 minutes for Ander Herrera to open the scoring with a rocket of a volley from outside the box.

In what could turn out to be Kylian Mbappe’s final game for the club, he added a powerful header from 15-yards, taking advantage of Georgino Wijnaldum’s deflected shot to double the lead of Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Lionel Messi was in demand after his highly anticipated debut for Paris Saint-Germain, with Reims goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic asking the Argentine to pose for a photo with his son.
