PSG beat Angers 3-0 to move six points clear in Ligue 1, with goals from Lee, Mayulu and Beraldo despite Goncalo Ramos red card.
Paris Saint-Germain moved a step closer to another Ligue 1 title with a commanding 3-0 win over Angers. Luis Enrique’s side were dominant from start to finish at Stade Raymond Kopa. The victory sends them six points clear at the top with four games remaining.
PSG wasted little time asserting control and took the lead inside seven minutes. Achraf Hakimi forced an early save from Hervé Koffi, but the rebound sparked danger. Lee Kang-In reacted quickest, rounded the goalkeeper, and calmly slotted home.
Angers briefly thought they had responded midway through the half. Amine Sbai found the net, but the goal was ruled out for offside. That moment summed up the hosts’ struggles to match PSG’s sharpness.
The visitors continued to press with intensity and purpose. Hakimi struck the post from a free-kick, while Fabian Ruiz and Bradley Barcola tested the defence. PSG’s early dominance reflected their control of possession and territory.
The second goal arrived in the 39th minute after sustained pressure. Lucas Beraldo picked out Senny Mayulu with a precise pass through the lines. Mayulu finished confidently to give PSG a deserved two-goal cushion.
PSG ended the first half with over 65 percent possession and eight total shots. Angers managed only limited attacking threat, struggling to break through midfield. The gap in quality between the sides was evident throughout. Despite their lead, PSG maintained their tempo and composure. Their passing remained crisp, and their defensive structure limited Angers’ opportunities. It was a controlled and professional display.
The third goal arrived early in the second half and effectively ended the contest. Lee turned provider this time, delivering a dangerous cross into the box. Beraldo met it and guided the ball home from close range.
PSG’s attacking trio continued to combine well, creating space and chances. Lee, in particular, dictated the tempo with intelligent movement and passing. Angers goalkeeper Koffi made several saves to prevent further damage.
The visitors recorded around 17 total shots, with 10 on target. Their expected goals stood near 2.78, highlighting their efficiency in front of goal. Angers, by contrast, struggled to register meaningful attempts.
The only negative for PSG came in the final stages. Goncalo Ramos received a second yellow card after a late challenge on Koffi. That reduced the visitors to ten men with around 16 minutes remaining. However, the dismissal did little to change the flow of the match. PSG remained composed and continued to manage possession effectively. Angers pushed forward late on but failed to create clear chances.
PSG also secured a fifth consecutive away clean sheet in all competitions. Their defensive discipline ensured a comfortable finish despite the numerical disadvantage.
Lee Kang-In was central to PSG’s attacking play, contributing a goal and an assist. Beraldo impressed with both a goal and an assist, underlining his growing importance. Mayulu also delivered a composed finish in a strong team performance. The early goal set the tone, while the second before half-time killed any momentum for Angers. Beraldo’s third ensured a stress-free second half for the leaders.
PSG dominated possession with around 70 percent and created 17 shots. They hit 10 on target and maintained an expected goals figure of 2.78. Angers struggled to create meaningful opportunities. They registered six shots, one on target, producing a 0.70 xG.
PSG now turn their attention to a Champions League semi-final clash against Bayern Munich. They return to Ligue 1 action next weekend against Lorient as they look to seal the title. Angers continue their season with a fixture against Auxerre up next.
