Hakimi’s hat-trick guides PSG to stunning 5-1 win at Le Havre in Ligue 1

What the report says

Paris Saint-Germain strengthened their position at the top of Ligue 1 with a 5-1 away win over bottom club Le Havre on Friday, according to Al Jazeera’s reporting from Reuters. The result gave PSG a sixth league victory in nine matches and lifted them to 20 points, two clear of Lille and four ahead of Rennes. The European champions were able to rotate their squad despite missing several regular players through injury.

Achraf Hakimi was the decisive figure at Stade Oceane, scoring three times and contributing two assists. Le Havre briefly led through Josh Maja, but PSG responded through Mika Godts before Hakimi put the visitors ahead and later added two more goals. Senny Mayulu also scored as PSG extended the margin in a dominant second half. The match left Le Havre at the bottom of the table with two points after a fifth straight defeat.

The wider league picture also shifted elsewhere, with Lille edging RC Lens 1-0 through a late Olivier Giroud winner and Nice beating Rennes 5-2. Al Jazeera’s report said PSG’s ninth consecutive win in all competitions underlined the depth of Luis Enrique’s squad, with the coach noting that broader involvement from the team may be important in the push for trophies.
