SportsTranscript
00:00Paris Saint-Germain have made a perfect start to their latest title defence, winning their first three games and scoring 13 goals in the process.
00:15Luis Enrique's charges will nevertheless be wary this evening as they take on a Brest team who, against all the odds, finished third in Liga last season.
00:25Brest are playing in red tonight, kicking from left to right, looking to carry on from where they left off before the international break.
00:41Four-nil victors against Saint-Etienne, their first win of the season.
00:46PSG put six past Montpellier in their last game.
00:56Lucas Beraldo partnering Milan Skriniar.
01:00At the back here is Skriniar, who was close to a move away from Paris Saint-Germain in August.
01:09A chance tonight for Skriniar to show his ability.
01:15This is Sima.
01:23Dembele.
01:26Good timing from Ousmane Dembele.
01:28Ruiz back to Dembele.
01:29Chance here.
01:30And at the far post, Nuno Mendes.
01:32Good save by Bizarre.
01:34Brest survive.
01:40Nuno Mendes.
01:44Good ball.
01:45Asensio should have scored.
01:49Well, the ball for Ajour.
01:52Well, the ball for Ajour.
01:54Ajour goes down.
01:57And the referee, he's pointed to the spot.
02:00It's a penalty to Brest.
02:03Ludovic Ajour didn't look like he had any chance of getting his head to the ball.
02:09But he was tripped, I think.
02:13In any case, the Brest striker went sprawling.
02:16And Clement Turpan pointed to the spot.
02:18Nuno Mendes, meanwhile.
02:22Yeah, he's pulled him.
02:23I think Mendes has got Ajour's shirt here.
02:26Which is foolish from the PSG left-back.
02:33So just before the half-hour, Brest with a golden chance to take the lead at the Parc des Princes.
02:41It's Román del Castillo.
02:44And he buries it.
02:47The Brest fans in the corner go wild.
02:51And the visitors from Brittany.
02:54Who stunned everybody last season.
02:56They're at it again here.
03:04A long-way test.
03:06Get their noses in front.
03:07Thanks to a very cool penalty from del Castillo.
03:10He was banking on Donnarumma diving.
03:22For...
03:25Hakimi moving through the gears.
03:27So much pace on both flanks for Paris Saint-Germain.
03:30Hakimi.
03:31Into the box.
03:32The cross.
03:33And surely the goal.
03:34Unbelievable.
03:37Marco Bizotte.
03:38Once again.
03:39Ousmane Dembele.
03:41Taking it on himself here.
03:43Dembele going for goal.
03:45He had Bizotte scampering to his right.
03:48By Kenny Lala.
03:52Here's Barcoula.
03:55Marco Asensio.
03:56Good cross.
03:57Ousmane Dembele.
03:59There is Paris Saint-Germain's goal.
04:04It looked as though it was coming.
04:06And Ousmane Dembele.
04:09From an unlikely source.
04:11A header.
04:12He doesn't score too many of them.
04:13But a cross from Asensio was so inviting.
04:15He couldn't really miss.
04:18No, Brest haven't done too much wrong in this first half.
04:21But it was Magneti who misplaced the pass.
04:25Barcoula found Asensio.
04:27And what a cross that was from the Spaniard.
04:30Ousmane Dembele's header.
04:31His second goal this season.
04:34Paris Saint-Germain won.
04:36Brest won.
04:43Bit of space on the left here.
04:44For Brest.
04:46Matti Kamara with the shot.
04:48Saved.
04:49Now Sima.
04:50And he misses it.
04:53Or rather it was Massadio Aydara who miscued the shot.
05:02And the referee brings the first half to a close.
05:05And absorbing.
05:09That is the end of the first half of Football 1-0.
05:13Penalty kick in favour of Brest.
05:16Del Castillo put it in the back of the net.
05:17And Dembele finally scoring for PSG.
05:20What had been closed several times in this first half.
05:25We're gonna take a...
05:28PSG have work to do if they're to make it four wins from four.
05:33They're being held to a 1-1 draw in this absorbing game against Brest.
05:43The home side creating three or four excellent chances.
05:48Could and probably should have Castillo.
05:53This is Barcola.
05:55Barcola to the byline.
05:57Well defended.
05:58Sliding in.
06:01This is Hakimi.
06:03Dembele.
06:04Left foot again.
06:05Dembele.
06:06Good save.
06:08He absolutely does have his shooting boots on this evening, Ousmane Dembele.
06:12That was another good clean strike and a good clean save.
06:21Dembele.
06:22That's a lovely pass.
06:23Hakimi.
06:24This is Fabian Ruiz.
06:26What a goal.
06:28Absolutely superb from Fabian Ruiz.
06:32Paris Saint-Germain take the lead.
06:37Thanks to their Spanish maestro.
06:49Well, they hadn't really been creating chances in this second half.
06:52But this is real quality from PSG.
06:58The pass from Dembele.
07:00Absolutely superb.
07:03Let's pick out Ashraf Hakimi.
07:06Hakimi laying it invitingly to the edge of the penalty area.
07:10And that is such a good finish from Ruiz.
07:13No chance this time for Bizotte.
07:21Well, we talked about what a wonderful summer he had with the Spanish national team.
07:25And how we haven't yet seen that Fabian Ruiz with Paris Saint-Germain.
07:32And now there's suddenly space through the middle.
07:34Randall Colomani can make it 3-1.
07:36Colomani denied.
07:37Dembele is at...
07:39It is 3-1 to PSG.
07:41Two goals in the space of one minute.
07:45And press have been swatted aside here.
07:55Ousmane Dembele at the double for Paris Saint-Germain.
07:58Heading back to the top of the league.
08:00It was right from kick-off.
08:05Chardonnay.
08:06Seeing his pass intercepted by Neves.
08:09Lovely pass by Dewey to release Colomani.
08:13A desperate block by Licarda now.
08:15But the loose ball fell invitingly for Ousmane Dembele.
08:19And that's already three goals this season for Dembele.
08:22He's matched his tally from last season.
08:25Just four games into the campaign.
08:35Well, the whistle blows.
08:41That is the game.
08:42And, well, Paris Saint-Germain comes from behind.
08:453-1, a couple of goals in the second half.
08:47Well, good to see.
08:48Both Benes and Cedric Guerreiro.
08:50And Vloris Maas.
08:51Benes has only won one game this season after a bad start.
08:56For the Champions League playing team.
08:58They had bad news this week.
08:59They can't play at home.
09:00They have to do another stadium for what's going on.
