Although PSG was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Kylian Mbappe once more came to their rescue with a 90th-minute goal that earned the defending French champions a 2-1 victory at relegation-threatened Brest in the opening game. Mbappe, the joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 after kicking out twice at a Brest player minutes earlier, was fortunate to still be on the field, but the officials decided to give him a yellow card instead of recommending a video review.

Based on the balance of play in the game, Brest may have earned the draw after going toe-to-toe with a more talented team and trading goals in the first half. But, after just two passes and a brilliant PSG counterattack, Mbappe was charging hard at the Brest goalie. He effortlessly got around the goalkeeper to score.

With Marseille in second place playing on Sunday, the three points allowed PSG to increase their lead at the top of the standings to 11 points. The Ligue 1 season of PSG has 11 games left as they pursue their 11th league championship, the only major prize still up for grabs for the star-studded team.
