PSG takes provisional first place in Ligue 1 before Nice’s match against Rennes on Sunday (24 against 22 points), and also puts pressure on its other rival Monaco, third with 20 points, which hosts Brest the same day .
Montpellier almost didn’t exist despite a good start to the match: their captain Téji Savanier quickly got a good chance (2nd), but it was blocked by the young Mukiele who replaced Lucas Hernandez.
Then, the Montpellier residents were gradually suffocated by PSG. Lee Kang-in solidified Parisian domination very early on by finding Lecomte’s top corner after Mbappé let Hakimi’s grounded cross pass between his legs (10th).
Lee Kang-in with precision
As regularly since the start of the season, Mbappé, lacking precision in the game, was not decisive but other players were present at the meeting. Starting with the South Korean Lee Kang-in. Already a scorer against AC Milan, and decisive passer in Brest for Mbappé, he succeeded in almost everything he undertook, from a long opening towards Dembélé (42nd) to a high recovery on a tackle through passes precise in the midfield.
It was in the second half that Paris definitely made the difference, with a stunning double one-two between Dembélé and Zaire-Emery, who scored his second goal in two matches after the two assists scored against Milan (58th).
Vitinha, who came on in place of Lee Kang-in – much applauded by the Parc public who made him their favorite of the evening – sealed the result with a new low cross from Hakimi (66th).
Success smiles once again on the Parisians: after being held back at Clermont (0-0) at the end of September then slapped at Newcastle (4-1) at the beginning of October, PSG continues its fifth victory, in all competitions, with three goals scored at each time, including against the prestigious Milan (3-0).
