Transcript
00:00 [crowd cheering]
00:05 They have lost some in the attack, but the defense stands firm.
00:08 Laws in there, blood and gold, defending the goal towards the left.
00:12 ...in Danso pushing up alongside Sotoka.
00:17 Into the six, smashed away, Hakimi.
00:22 Laws gets it back in the midfield.
00:26 Shot from distance, looked to deflect.
00:29 A scream from Samed, but no foul.
00:33 All the way back.
00:36 They'll try it again, Fulgini to the 18.
00:39 Looks like there's an opening. Does it come off the hand of Skriniar?
00:43 Now a bump by Ugarte. The referee's assistant on the near side had a good view.
00:48 No whistle, and Mbappe caresses it to Dembélé.
00:52 And here's the break that could lift PSG to another crown.
00:57 They can't find the goal here as the defense combines to block it wide.
01:02 If you will.
01:03 A lot tighter for the technical area than it is for the players.
01:09 Gotta keep your nose clean.
01:11 Swinging away.
01:18 Cleared by Danso.
01:21 Fulgini sending it out.
01:26 Trying to curl it around Medina, but now back the other way.
01:31 Cross through.
01:32 Mbappe, the volley blocks!
01:34 And then cleared off the line. The little deflection taking it away from Samba.
01:40 Mbappe on the stripe. Turns and drives looking for...
01:46 Dembélé, Machado.
01:49 Looked like he was in great position. Instead, inside.
01:54 With a Hakimi run, but the shot trickles harmlessly wide.
01:58 And a lot more of the defense than we've seen in recent years.
02:03 Little heel flick from Mbappe.
02:07 Vitinha hitting the accelerator.
02:10 Trying to ride the wake.
02:12 Top of the box. Asensio spots the corner!
02:17 And hits the bullseye!
02:19 A little pocket of space.
02:23 Around Danso. Passed Samba to the corner.
02:26 Nice little flick from Mbappe, but the rest of this play he was a decoy.
02:35 You could see the defense had to stay wide.
02:40 Which opened that pathway for Asensio.
02:44 Could Samba have gotten over in time?
02:47 Well, probably should have.
02:52 Probably should have.
02:53 But Asensio...
02:57 A little something new for Lowndes to adapt to.
03:02 Solid finish for the Spaniard.
03:20 Second half underway. Asensio's debut goal.
03:24 That has come in off the bench for the injured Samed.
03:29 27-year-old midfielder out of Azed.
03:34 Into the middle. Cleared.
03:37 Machado chests it into his path. Has a go! Low near post!
03:42 And forcing a sprawling save by Donnarumma.
03:50 Mbappe.
03:51 Sputtering, stuttering, trying to catch fire, but staying with him.
03:55 Lowndes, good split pass in for Hakimi.
03:58 Tries to guide it through the back line to the corner.
04:01 Paris FC, the other Paris... No, the other, other football team from Paris
04:08 down in Ligue 2 a couple of seasons ago.
04:11 Splitting his time between the A and B teams.
04:17 Here comes PSG, and there goes Kylian Mbappe!
04:22 Mom and his brother. His dad up in the stands.
04:28 First goal from the run of play. Mbappe doing well to lay it off.
04:34 Asensio...
04:36 Drawing the defense, and Lucas Hernandez loading the cannon.
04:42 Mbappe in perfect form.
04:46 And PSG now in a comfortable lead.
04:50 Here they come again.
04:57 Mbappe from an angle.
04:59 Tucks it far corner and just whistles it wide.
05:03 You get any momentum, any rhythm, because they can't get the ball.
05:09 Here comes PSG again.
05:13 Into the area, Asensio, top of the box, Vitinha, wide for Mbappe!
05:18 And a diving stop by Lopez.
05:20 Vaisamba make that as he pushes it wide.
05:24 Chance for Wai and denied.
05:33 And the ultras section going a little crazy.
05:37 Looking for that far corner but can't find it.
05:42 Got called up to the reserves and actually played for a count against PSG.
05:50 Here's Dembele on the wrong side of the post, coming close to his debut goal.
05:56 90 minutes almost done. Fourth official at midfield ready to signal.
06:05 PSG not slowing down.
06:07 Hakimi...
06:09 Hakimi...
06:11 Asensio...
06:12 Ruiz had to wait a bit, drops to the spot.
06:15 Mbappe shot, caressed, deflected and trickling home.
06:20 Well...
06:23 It's killing Mbappe's world and Lanz isn't quite sure they want to live there.
06:37 If it wasn't deflected, he probably had a corner picked out.
06:43 They'll take a little fluke on this one.
06:47 Close to offside but flag stayed down.
06:54 Off Grodde twice and eventually off Danso past Samba.
07:03 [crowd cheering]
07:07 Could have even been a handball and a penalty if it hadn't gone in.
07:12 Scoring Mbappe...
07:16 With just two points from their opening two games.
07:21 And at the moment they've jumped to fourth, Waheed coming close.
07:27 Final 30 seconds of regulation.
07:32 [crowd cheering]
07:34 Donnarumma getting the job done on his side.
07:38 And this new look attack showing some promise into the 18.
07:43 Maybe some consolation here and Gilavogli opens his account.
07:49 The ball deflected as one good bounce deserves another.
07:56 But a turnover in the corner.
08:00 Sotoka...
08:02 And Gilavogli looked like he was trying to pick out the back corner.
08:09 Instead it's the backside of Skriniar past Donnarumma who did get a touch.
08:16 And the whistle blows to bring it to a close.
08:19 But not before PSG walks away with a 3-1 win.
08:24 Same scoreline as this fixture last year.
08:29 Well last year brought relief for PSG. This one...
