Achraf Hakimi scored a sensational hat-trick as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) thrashed Le Havre 5-1 at Stade Océane, extending their Ligue 1 winning streak and strengthening their top-of-the-table position.
The emphatic victory showcased PSG’s attacking superiority, while Le Havre’s winless start to the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season continued.
Le Havre Shock PSG with Early Opener
Despite PSG dominating possession with an astonishing 85% in the opening 10 minutes, Le Havre struck first against the run of play.
Josh Maja finished a brilliant counterattack, tapping home Rayan Fofana’s low cross after Ferran Torres had missed an opportunity at the opposite end.
However, the visitors responded swiftly. Mika Godts equalized in the 26th minute, converting Achraf Hakimi’s delivery before the Moroccan defender fired PSG ahead just two minutes later.
Following a lengthy VAR review, Hakimi’s goal stood, giving PSG a 2-1 halftime advantage.
Hakimi Hat-Trick Seals PSG’s Dominant Victory
PSG returned from the break with renewed attacking intensity.
In the 55th minute, Hakimi produced a stunning curling free-kick beyond goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart to extend PSG’s lead to 3-1.
Le Havre nearly responded when Maja struck the woodwork shortly after the hour mark. However, just 15 seconds later, Senny Mayulu capitalized on Bodart’s defensive misjudgment to score PSG’s fourth into an empty net.
Hakimi completed his remarkable hat-trick with approximately 20 minutes remaining, sealing an emphatic 5-1 victory.
