⚽️ PSG Stays Hot & Dominates Nimes ⚽️

⚽️ ⚽️ Paris Saint-Germain 4- Nîmes 0  ⚽️  ⚽️ 

 Nîmes - Paris Saint-Germain ( 0-4 ) 

 PSG 4, Nîmes 0         

Well, we kind of all knew that their dismal start, losing their first two games, was not likely to be indicative of the kind of season that PSG could expect to have, right? They are, by far, the most talented team in Ligue 1, with the biggest, most immediately names on their roster, and with the most experience of any team in recent years, to boot.              

So, it cannot be a shock to see them getting hot right at the right time.              

Kylian Mbappé scored the game’s opening goal in the 32nd minute, ultimately allowing PSG to take a narrow 1-0 lead into the locker room by halftime.              

Yet, Nîmes continued to play tight and held tough. PSG was unable to add to that lead in the first half, and indeed, for most of the second half, as well.              

However, Alessandro Florenzi finally gave PSG some breathing room in the 77th minute as he scored the second goal of the game. Suddenly, with time running out, PSG were now comfortably ahead, on the verge of icing it.              

It took just a few minutes for them to do just that, as Mbappé scored his second goal of the game in the 83rd minute.              

Finally, Pablo Sarabia scored the game’s final goal in the 88th minute, expanding PSG’s lead to 4-0, making the score appear far more lopsided than most of the game actually was.              

The win was the fifth straight for PSG, and they now move up to second place in Ligue 1 standings, with 15 points in their seven games thus far, two points behind Lille, with 17 points in seven games. Nîmes is now tied with two other teams, Metz and Nantes, for 14th through sixteenth place, with eight points in seven games played thus far.
