PSG v Brest - Donnarumma penalty hero once more to secure PSG victory

It would have been a bit fortunate but Brest could so easily have got a point at the Park des Princes. Thanks for following the match with us.

Kimpembe has to leave the field due to injury so the hosts will need to hold on for victory with a depleted side now.

From the ensuing corner Marquinhos meets with a firm header but just wide of the post.

The substitute is only just on but has picked up a booking.

Strange situation as an attempted headed clearance came back off Slimani and the ball then heads towards the goal where the Italian dives to ensure it does not sneak inside the post.

MBAPPE AND NEYMAR BROUGHT OFF

Sarabia and Ekikte replace them. Mendes also comes on for Bernat.

He brings down substitute and almost namesake Pereira-Lage.

Uronen and Pereira Lage come on for Fadiga and Lees-Melou.

Slimani walked towards the spot before trying to place the ball in the corner where Donnarumma with those elasticated arms reached to his left to push the ball behind for a corner.

Kimpembe gives the kick away by fouling Fadiga in the area.

But it is straight at Bizot who saves comfortably.

But Bizot comes out of goal to put the ball behind for a corner.

Veratti is replaced by Fabian for the hosts and Magnetti and Dair come on for Camara and Herelle for Brest.

Nice line-up play between Messi and Neymar sees Mbappe put through in the inside left channel where he usually makes the net bulge but he barely makes contact with the ball and it skews laterally and is cleared.

But with space cramped, PSG unable to create opening.

Ameasured cross from the left hand side of the area from Mbappe which Messi heads back across the keeper but the ball comes back off the post.

As good as they are going forward they remain a little vulnerable at the back.

Mbappe put through again but his effort aimed for the high in the net is parried away.
