Paris St-Germain on Saturday beat Brest 2-1, away from home, with a weak performance in French Ligue 1.
The team even created goal chances, but did not put into practice the performance of the leader of the competition. But, the Parisian still had to overcome several embezzlements, including Brazilians Neymar and Marquinhos.
The initial goal only came out in the 37th minute of the first half. The move started with Kylian Mbappe. He took a risk from afar, goalkeeper Bizot spread it to the middle of the area and Carlos Soler took advantage of the surplus to open the scoring.
Brest has not changed its defensive posture. Before the round, it was the team with the lowest ball possession rate in the competition.
PSG tied the match six minutes after Soler’s goal. Taking advantage of the high line of PSG’s defense, Honorat was launched in the back of Sergio Ramos, carried the ball to the opponent’s area and touched Donnarumma’s exit.
Honorat was launched behind Sergio Ramos, carried the ball to the rival’s area, and made contact with Donnarumma’s exit.
PSG was well under expectations, as well as its stars Mbappe and Lionel Messi. While Mbappe was irritated on the pitch and missed easy shots. He also made some fouls and took a long time to have a yellow card.
Mbappe vented in the post-game interview and said that this was the maximum of the team after the elimination to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
But Mbappe showed why he is one of the best players in the world. With just one move, at the end of the game, the striker decided the game.
In a quick counterattack, Messi saw the pitch free to launch Mbappe, who dribbled the opposing goalkeeper and played into the empty net.
