Donnarumma's moment of madness goes unpunished as the Parisians overcome Ligue 1 newcomers

The brilliance of Kylian Mbappe shone through as Paris Saint-Germain, despite being reduced to ten men, claimed an impressive victory against newly-promoted Le Havre at the Stade Oceane. The win extended PSG's lead to four points atop the Ligue 1 table and ended Le Havre's unbeaten streak of six games.

The match started with an intense pace, as Le Havre threatened early on, forcing PSG into a goalline clearance and leading to Gianluigi Donnarumma's dismissal after an ill-timed challenge. However, the setback didn't deter Mbappe, who showed his quality by scoring a sleek first-time finish inside the right post, marking the first goal conceded by Les Ciel et Marine in three games.

The hosts intensified their efforts but couldn't find the equalizer, with Josue Casimir's attempt failing to test PSG's substitute goalkeeper, Arnau Tenas. The second half saw Le Havre maintaining momentum while PSG struggled to stay in control. Ousmane Dembele missed an opportunity to double PSG's lead with a low drive hitting the outside of the post.

Both sides had their chances in an action-packed match, with Tenas making a crucial double save for PSG and Le Havre pushing for an equalizer. However, it was PSG who had the final say, breaking Le Havre's hearts with a deflected shot from Vitinha that found the net. This win solidified PSG's impressive seven-game winning streak in Ligue 1, showcasing their dominance in the league and leaving Le Havre disappointed despite their valiant efforts.
