PSG vs Brest Highlights: Neymar’s winner helps reigning Ligue 1 Champions beat Brest 1-0
Brest came under intense pressure inside the opening 20 minutes with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi all going close for the Parisians.
The visitors’ struggles appeared set to worsen when Christophe Herelle received a red card for fouling Neymar, but they were reprieved after a VAR check revealed the PSG forward had strayed offside before the challenge occurred.
The Brazil international broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark, however, controlling Messi’s wonderful lofted ball before firing past Marco Bizot.
The Brest goalkeeper did well to thwart Messi and Mbappe before the break, while the latter was also denied by the offside flag. The woodwork then came to the visitors’ rescue within five minutes of the restart; Messi heading against the post from Mbappe’s cross.
Despite registering 12 shots on goal, PSG were almost made to pay for their lacking of cutting edge in the 70th minute when Presnel Kimpembe fouled Noah Fadiga in the box.
However, Donnarumma guessed correctly to keep out Slimani from 12 yards and ensure his side’s return to the Ligue 1 summit.
