Paris Saint-Germain earned a third straight win in Ligue 1, beating Le Mans 3-1 to move up to fifth in the table.
Louis Mafouta cancelled out Beraldo's first-half penalty before quickfire goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Maghes Akliouche secured all three points.
PSG started on the front foot and got their reward in the 19th minute as Harold Voyer was penalised for a handball in the box following a lengthy VAR check.
Beraldo drilled his spot-kick into the bottom-right corner, just squeezing it past Nicolas Kocik, who had dived the right way.
Matvey Safonov rushed off his line to smother Mafouta's one-on-one chance 29 minutes in, while Akliouche also saw a header saved at the other end just before half-time.
Just moments after Achraf Hakimi was denied one-on-one by Kocik, Le Mans moved quickly up the field in a sweeping counter-attack, and Mafouta was on hand to finish it off in the 54th minute.
But PSG restored their lead in the 61st minute as Kocik failed to properly clear a corner. His punch was fired back at goal by Fabian Ruiz, and though the goalkeeper parried it, Kvaratskhelia was on hand to turn in the rebound.
And Akliouche got his first PSG goal just seven minutes later; he was allowed to advance down the right by Le Mans before picking out a near-post finish.
Dame Gueye clipped the crossbar after a mazy run into the PSG box shortly after, but there was still time for late drama.
Lucas Hernandez was tugged back in the box by Rayan Bamba, and Desire Doue's 93rd-minute penalty was well saved by Kocik. Vitinha was caught in the process of trying to reach the rebound, with the referee awarding another spot-kick, though that was overturned by VAR.

PSG back on track?
It was an uncharacteristic start to the season for PSG as they failed to win any of their first three matches, but they have been in fine form since then.
Three straight wins mark their best run of victories since a sequence of seven consecutive victories between December 2025 and February 2026.
It was another dominant display in the final third for Luis Enrique's side, too. They had 22 shots against Le Mans, taking their tally for the season up to 128, while they had seven Opta-defined 'big' chances overall.
Top-scorer Ferran Torres was kept fairly quiet, with Hakimi leading the way for shots (five) and touches in the opposition box (nine) among PSG players.
Warren Zaire-Emery certainly made his mark after coming off the bench, creating a joint-team-high three chances (three, level with Lucas Digne), and getting one assist, proving Luis Enrique has the strength in depth, even in Ousmane Dembele's absence.
