Ferran Torres scored the only goal as Paris Saint-Germain secured their first Ligue 1 victory of the season with a 1-0 win over Brest on Sunday.
Under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, PSG had struggled early on, collecting just two points from their initial three league matches. This unexpected sluggishness contrasted sharply with their recent emphatic 6-1 Champions League triumph against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday.
Torres, a summer signing from Barcelona who famously netted the winning goal for Spain in the World Cup final, continued his impressive form by delivering a decisive early strike at Brest’s Stade Francis-Le Ble. This goal followed a hat-trick he scored midweek, bringing his tally to six goals in five appearances across all competitions for PSG.
PSG Moves Up the Table
The victory propelled PSG to eighth place in the Ligue 1 standings, matching Brest’s record, who had remained unbeaten prior to the clash. The match also carried emotional weight, as Brest honored their former coach Eric Roy, who passed away in June at the age of 58 after battling pancreatic cancer.
Torres emphasized his commitment to the team’s success regardless of his playing time, stating that his focus is on contributing through goals, assists, or effort on the pitch. His early-season impact signals a promising boost for PSG as they seek to regain momentum domestically while chasing a third consecutive Champions League title.
