Match Report
Captain Achraf Hakimi scored a brace for the reigning champions with Desire Doue completing the scoring, while Romain Del Castillo fluffed his lines from the penalty spot, as PSG returned to winning ways in the French top flight.
Brest had the first clear chance of the match when Junior Dina Ebimbe cut the ball back to Pathe Mboup in the box, but the forward scuffed his effort straight at Lucas Chevalier, with Radoslaw Majecki also making a save at the other end to deny Senny Mayulu.
Hakimi then broke the deadlock for PSG just before the half-hour mark. Vitinha picked out his team-mate with a lofted pass to the back post, and the right-back volleyed home.
The Morocco international was then on hand to double the visitors' advantage in the 39th minute. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia mishit his effort, but the ball landed kindly for Hakimi to smash into the top-right corner.
Brest had a golden opportunity to reply in what was a quiet second half when Lee Kang-In was penalised for a handball following a lengthy VAR check. However, Del Castillo lost his footing when striking the ball, and sent his effort over the bar as he slipped on the turf.
Doue struck the woodwork twice in the closing stages for PSG, but eventually found the back of the net in the sixth minute of stoppage time, after being played through on goal by Warren Zaire-Emery and smashing the ball past Majecki.
Although seven of PSG's 16 shots hit the target, the quality of their chances aside from the two goals were poor. Luis Enrique's side accumulated 1.4 expected goals (xG) to Brest's 1.64, though the latter's figure was boosted by their penalty.
Brest are now winless in their last 33 matches against PSG in all competitions (drawn eight, lost 25), since a 3-1 home victory in January 1985. This is the longest unbeaten run against an opponent in the history of PSG.
Since the start of the 2024-25 season, PSG have scored three or more goals in a Ligue 1 match more often than any other side (23), while Brest have conceded at least three goals 15 times, the joint-most often along with Le Havre.
