Paris Saint-Germain turned the tables on its guest Brest, defeating them 3/2 at the Parc des Princes stadium in the fourth round of the French League.
The visitors took the lead with Roman de Castillo's goal in the 29th minute from a penalty kick, and PSG responded with a penalty scored by Ousmane Dembélé (two goals) and Fabian Ruiz in the 42nd, 73rd and 74th minutes.
Saint-Germain raised its score to 12 points, achieving the full score with four consecutive victories to take the top spot in the league, two points ahead of Olympique Marseille and Monaco.
As for Brest, third in last season, which is preparing to participate in the Champions League, its score froze at three points in twelfth place.
PSG prevailed overwhelmingly in the first half-hour of the match, but Brest's Dutch goalkeeper Marco Bizot saved his goal from three dangerous attempts by the Portuguese duo Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes.
Marco Asensio also missed a great opportunity in front of goal by kicking the ball over the crossbar after a cross from Nuno Mendes.
In contrast to the course of events, Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes was involved in a penalty kick after Ludovic Ajurc grabbed the Brest striker by the shirt, giving the visitors the lead with a goal from Roman del Castillo.
The Parisian giant continued its fierce attacking pressure amid clear brilliance from Brest goalkeeper Bizot, who saved three dangerous chances against Dembélé and Asensio, while Barcola and Dembélé hit two balls outside the frame.
Saint-Germain translated its offensive superiority into the equalizer, scored by Ousmane Dembélé with a header after a perfect cross from Marco Asensio from the left side.
PSG almost suffered a second shock in the final seconds, but its Italian goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, was alert in blocking Mehdi Kamara’s shot, and the first half ended in a 1/1 draw.
The Parisian team criticized the relative haste, especially in the first quarter of an hour, as Hakimi knocked over a rebound in the penalty area with a shot over the crossbar, while Bizot blocked a new attempt from Dembele.
Luis Enrique moved to revitalize the ranks by fielding Desiree Douy and Pacho in place of Barcola and Nuno Mendes, while Asensio scored a goal in the 64th minute, which the referee ruled out for offside.
The Parisian pressure resulted in a second goal scored by Fabian Ruiz with a missile shot from the edge of the penalty area after a kick-off from Achraf Hakimi, and then Ousmane Dembélé added the third after the Brest defenders were confused.
In the final minutes, Enrique rested the team's stars by replacing Dembele, Joao Neves and Marco Asensio, giving a chance to a number of substitutes such as Kolo Mwani, Ceni Maiolo and Ibrahim Mbaye amid the euphoria of victory
