Thanks in particular to a goal from Kylian Mbappé, PSG honored its status during the opposition against Brest in the Cup (3-1).
Ten days after being held by Brest in the championship (2-2), PSG took their revenge on the Finistère team. In the round of 16 of the Cup, the Ile-de-France team defeated Roy with a score of 3 to 1.
It all happened in the first half. After a tricky start to the match, which notably saw Gianluigi Donnarumma make a few valuable saves, the locals broke the deadlock through Kylian Mbappé. While his name increasingly populates the transfer section, the Bondynois has shown that he can be focused on his duty. At 34e minute of play, he hit the mark on a cross shot.
PSG trembled for Mbappé
The Parisian star then remained on the pitch until the end. But he might not have been so lucky. The French international was the victim of two attacks from Lilian Brassier in the space of ten minutes (60e and 69e). Quite logically, the Brest player received two yellows, leaving his teammates to finish with ten men.
Kylian Mbappé avoided a big injury
Visitors may regret this outcome. Because they thought they could reproduce their championship feat by coming back to 1-2. While Danilo Pereira brought the score to 2-0 for the Parisians by taking a pass from Ousmane Dembélé, Steve Mounié reduced the score to the mark in the 65the. The Beninese then brought a slight cold through the sections of the Park.
Brest was not unworthy
At the final whistle, and even if they ended up conceding a third goal from Gonçalo Ramos in stoppage time, the Brestois perhaps also had to remember a strike from Satriano on the bar in the 29the. If the leather had ended up at the bottom, the match might have had a whole new look.
But, it is therefore Paris which qualified. Luis Enrique’s team can hope to win a trophy that has eluded them since 2021. There are only two matches that separate them from a potential final.
