Whoever looked at the Ligue 1 standings and stats tonight, probably was in shock. The five consecutive champions of France were in the bottom part of the league without a single victory after three games and that showed in the stats column too. On top of the scorers list is Kamory Doumbia, a Malian international who plays for Brest, and who scored four goal so far. In fact, Brest were without a defeat, while PSG was without a win. This akward situation was resolved tonight as current champions finally managed a 1-0 win, while defeating Brest for the first time this season. And the player who will take the most blame for this is Doumbia.The Malian striker, obviously in form, missed two biggest chances in this game, efectively allowing PSG to win. Doumbia first hit the post in a one-on-one situation with Safonov, and then wasn’t so precise after a free kick, allowing the PSG keeper to make a great save. The Parisians finally managed a win, but this was not flashy performance, on the contrary. An individual quality of Ferran Torres got them the lead, which they managed to keep until the end, mainly due to Doumbia’s misses. So, the defending champions winally got all three points, but Brest certainly deserved at least a point. Not to mention that Luis Enrique will be far from pleased with his men’s performance.6 – Buts marqués sur leurs cinq premiers matches toutes compétitions confondues avec le @PSG_inside :🥇Ferran Torres : 6 🦈🥇Zlatan Ibrahimovic : 6 💪🥉Neymar : 5 🕺Requin. pic.twitter.com/Tp0zo9MxVN— OptaJean (@OptaJean) September 13, 2026 Apart from the opening goal, the first half was really poor. After only five minutes, PSG took the lead after a great shot by Ferran Torres. Following a very quick combination between Joao Neves, Ousmane Dembele and Torres, the latter took a shot which went straight into the bottom left corner for 1-0. The guest continued to be in control of the game and created some chances, but failed to score. Mboup had the only real chance for the home team in the 10th minute, but his shot was saved by Matvey Safonov catches the ball in the center. Kvaratskhelia tried with a curling shot in the 22nd minute but Brest keeper Selvik tipped the ball over the bar. Second half was much better and we saw more chances, starting with Brest’s in the 50th minute. Nuno Gomes doesn’t make a lot of chances, but this was a big one, as he gave the ball directly to Doumbia in his own penalty area. But, the Malian only managed to hit the post. Seven minutes later, he had a perfect header, only to see Safonov saving the shot. PSG had one good chance, but Vitinha’s shot from a tight angle was stopped by Brest keeper at the goal line. Safonov had one more chance to shine, when he stop Mboup's shot in the 87th minute, which looked destined for goal.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 4FridayRennes – Olympique Marseille 1-0 (0-0)/Thomasson 52/SaturdayStrasbourg – Monaco 1-1 (0-0)/Sane 52 og – Brunner 71/Auxerre – Nice 1-0 (0-0)/Archer 74/Le Havre – Angers 0-0Lorient – Toulouse 2-2 (2-0)/Balde 37, Mbamba 39 – Tengstedt 48, Jorgensen 68/Paris – Olympique Lyon 0-0SundayLille – Troyes 2-0 (1-0)/Santos 18, Mbappe 90+3/Le Mans – Lens 2-2(2-1)/Bourabaa 32, Calodat 44 – Sima 45+2, Ivanovic 51/Brest – PSG 0-1 (0-1)/Torres 5/
