Brest/PSG: Vitinha Opens the Scoring, Dembélé Punishes Brest on the Counter and Scores a Brace!
Paris Saint-Germain takes a strong lead in this Champions League playoff first leg against Brest. After Vitinha’s opener from the penalty spot, the Parisians extended their lead with a devastating counter-attack finished by Ousmane Dembélé, before the French winger sealed the match with a stunning brace.
Vitinha Puts Paris Ahead from the Spot
In the first half, PSG took the lead after a clear handball by Lees-Melou inside the box. The referee immediately pointed to the spot, and Vitinha calmly converted, sending Bizot the wrong way.
Dembélé Doubles the Lead on a Lightning Counter!
As Brest pushed forward in search of an equalizer, Paris struck hard on the break. With a smooth one-touch build-up, Joao Neves accelerated the play and found Hakimi sprinting down the right flank. The Moroccan full-back combined brilliantly with Dembélé, who used Hakimi’s overlapping run as a decoy to cut inside and fire a powerful left-footed shot at the near post. Bizot was beaten—2-0 PSG!
DEMBÉLÉ AT IT AGAIN! A BRACE FOR THE FRENCH WINGER!
Ousmane Dembélé is on fire tonight, netting his second goal! A one-two attempt between Barcola and Dembélé didn’t quite come off, but Brest’s lackluster defending allowed the Frenchman to recover the ball and blast it home with power. 3-0 PSG!
