The Parisians took their time to find their rhythm in the match. However, after 20 minutes, Dembele scored the first goal with a solo effort, maneuvering past a couple of challenges and striking the ball into the bottom corner. Just minutes later, Kylian Mbappe increased their lead to 2-0 with a flicked shot in the box, connecting with Nuno Mendes.
As the game progressed, PSG gained more control, holding onto possession for longer periods and denying Lorient any opportunities to score. By half-time, PSG had built a comfortable lead. In the second half, PSG continued to dominate, with Dembele completing his brace with a tap-in at the back post from a cross by Kylian Mbappe.
This allowed Enrique to rest some players, making substitutions to maintain control of the game. Lorient managed to pull one back with Mohamed Bamba’s strong header, giving them hope. They continued to press hard, with Panos Katseris coming close to scoring a second goal.
However, Kylian Mbappe sealed the victory for PSG with a curling shot into the box, securing his double and putting the result beyond doubt.
