Le Havre vs. PSG: Achraf Hakimi Hat Trick Powers Paris to 5-1 Comeback Win

Paris Saint-Germain gave Le Havre an early lead to celebrate on Friday, then took the game over. PSG won 5-1 at Stade Océane in Ligue 1’s Round 9 opener, and right back Achraf Hakimi was at the center of nearly everything, scoring a hat trick and setting up both of the other goals.

Le Havre vs. PSG: how the goals went in

According to FotMob’s match data and Le Figaro’s goal roundup, the scoring went like this:

Maja’s opener gave the home crowd hope, and Le Figaro noted he had scored again (“Maja remet ça”). But PSG needed only eight minutes to flip the game, with Godts and Hakimi scoring two minutes apart before halftime.

Achraf Hakimi’s big night

Hakimi, usually a right back, finished with three goals and two assists, meaning he had a hand in all five PSG goals. FotMob’s match review called him the “hat-trick hero” of a “five-star comeback,” and he was the site’s player of the match.

His second goal came straight from a free kick early in the second half, which effectively ended Le Havre’s hopes. He completed the hat trick in the 69th minute and was substituted two minutes later, with David Boly coming on.

A short-handed PSG still in control

The win came without several regulars. FotMob listed Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as unavailable through injury, and Luis Enrique also started stars such as Vitinha, João Neves, Fabián Ruiz and Désiré Doué on the bench.

PSG’s lineup included Matvey Safonov in goal, Ilya Zabarnyi and Lucas Hernández in central defense, Lucas Digne at left back and a front three of Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres and Mika Godts.

Even so, PSG dominated the ball, with about 71% possession and more shots and expected goals than the hosts, per FotMob’s stats.
