By Arnav Kholkar Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Paris Saint-Germain players celebrate taking the lead against Brest. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Stade Brestois (Brest) 1-0 in Ligue 1 on Saturday, September 10. Brest came into this game having earned just five points from their opening six games. They were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Strasbourg last time around, a game they should have won, having kept 60% possession with 11 shots. However, things were about to get a lot tougher against the defending champions. PSG, on the other hand, earned 16 points from their opening six fixtures. They have scored a whopping 25 goals in these games, including a 3-0 win at Nantes last time around. Christophe Galtier brought Sergio Ramos back into the lineup as they looked to win and return to the top of Ligue 1 ahead of high-flying Lens.

Brest, too, did not sit back and ventured forward and attempted a few shots on goal early on. They nearly grabbed the lead early on via former Leicester City striker Islam Slimani. However, the Algerian failed to convert as the Parisians escaped trouble. There was drama midway through the period as Chistophe Herelle was shown a straight red card for hacking Neymar down outside Brest's 18-yard box. However, VAR took over the situation and deemed Neymar offside before a foul was committed. Herelle's red card was subsequently canceled as play was pulled back. PSG took the lead shortly after as Lionel Messi played a delightful lofted pass into Neymar's path. He took a deft touch to bring it down before smashing it accurately into the bottom-right corner to make it 1-0 after 30 minutes. It was the Brazilian's eighth goal of the season and his 14th goal contribution. The hosts had a few more chances through Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. However, Marco Bizot did well to deny them as they went into half-time with a 1-0 lead. Paris Saint-Germain@PSG_English HT at the Parc#??????? 1-0
