Paris Saint-Germain extend scoring streak with victory over Brest

Paris Saint-Germain beat Brest 1-0 to extend their scoring streak to 24 consecutive league games, their longest run since 2018, while maintaining their unbeaten record against the Breton side.

Paris Saint-Germain extended their remarkable scoring run in Ligue 1 with a narrow 1-0 victory away to Brest. The win on September 13, secured by an early Ferran Torres goal, means the capital club has now scored in 24 consecutive league matches.

This 24-game streak, during which Paris Saint-Germain have netted 53 times, is their longest such run since a 44-match sequence between August 2018 and September 2019. It shows the attacking consistency of a side that, since the start of last season, has also scored 16 goals from outside the box, four more than any other team in the division.

The winning goal came in the 5th minute, with Ferran Torres finishing a move started by Ousmane Dembélé. The Spanish winger, who scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava just four days earlier, confirmed his sharp form. With three goals in four appearances this season, he is currently Paris Saint-Germain's top scorer. The early strike proved enough against a stubborn Brest side.

The key man: Ferran Torres

Ferran Torres has now scored six goals in his first five competitive appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, a feat not achieved since Zlatan Ibrahimović in 2012. His clinical edge made the difference on a day where the team struggled to convert other chances.

At the back, the defence and goalkeeper Matvey Safonov secured the points. The Russian keeper produced a solid performance with key saves. Data body Opta stated he "avoided" 1.62 expected goals on target (xGOT), the best ratio for a Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper since Gianluigi Donnarumma against Nantes in February 2024.

The victory also extends Paris Saint-Germain's historic unbeaten run against Brest to 35 competitive games, with 27 wins in that span. Brest's last victory dates back to January 1985. This result comes amid mixed recent form for the Parisians, whose last five matches show two wins, two draws and one loss (WLWDD).

The squad must now manage without the sidelined Achraf Hakimi for the upcoming fixtures.
