Hakimi’s Hat-Trick Powers PSG to 5-1 Win Over Le Havre

On Friday night Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) overcame an early 18-minute lead by Le Havre striker Josh Maja to win 5-1 at the Stade CMA CGM Oceane. Mika Godts equalised in the 26th minute from a pass by Achraf Hakimi, who then scored the go-ahead goal two minutes later. The Moroccan right-back added a direct free-kick in the 55th minute, supplied the assist for Senny Mayulu’s fourth-minute-plus goal in the 62nd, and completed his hat-trick with a deflected strike in the 69th. The victory marked PSG’s sixth consecutive Ligue 1 win, ninth straight win in all competitions, and moved them to 20 points from nine matches, two points clear of Lille at the top of the table.

PSG entered the match as the reigning French and European champions but were missing key attackers Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia through injury. Coach Luis Enrique rotated five starters from the previous league win over Lyon, giving younger players such as Quentin Ndjantou and David Boly minutes. Their nearest rivals Lille sat second with 18 points, while third-placed Rennes held 16. The win reinforced PSG’s dominance after a sluggish start to the season that saw only one point from the opening three fixtures.
