PSG, sensing their opponent’s vulnerability, seized control of the game and swiftly took the lead through the in-form Ousmane Dembele. Demonstrating his clinical finishing, Dembele cut inside two defenders before calmly slotting the ball into the bottom corner to give PSG the advantage.

Unrelenting in their pursuit of goals, PSG quickly doubled their lead just minutes later, courtesy of Kylian Mbappe’s exquisite finish. Mbappe exhibited his exceptional skill, delicately flicking the ball into the far corner after a precise pass from Nuno Mendes, leaving Lorient stunned and facing an uphill battle.

Despite Lorient’s attempts to mount a comeback, PSG’s defensive resilience, epitomized by Gianluigi Donnarumma’s remarkable save to deny Tiemoue Bakayoko, thwarted their efforts to narrow the deficit before halftime.

After the break, PSG continued to dominate proceedings, with Mbappe showcasing his brilliance once again. The French forward mesmerized the Lorient defense with his dribbling skills before setting up Dembele for an easy tap-in, extending PSG’s lead and effectively sealing the victory.

Despite conceding a consolation goal to Mohamed Bamba, PSG remained in control, with Mbappe delivering the final blow with another clinical finish to restore their three-goal advantage.

The result highlights PSG’s supremacy in French football and reaffirms their status as the favorites to lift the Ligue 1 trophy once again.
