21:12 – First corner
On the left side, Lucas Beraldo concedes a corner for Le Havre.

After a nice pass from Lee to Hakimi on the right wing, Le Havre recovered and Lee made an unfair foul on Kechta to end the counter-attack.
21:09 – The bar for Kolo Muani!
On the right side, Kang-In Lee and Achraf Hakimi combine before the Moroccan crosses to the penalty spot. Randal Kolo Muani heads it and the ball hits Desmas’ crossbar.
21:07 – Good intervention
Pacho follows his teammates in the pressure and the Ecuadorian recovers a beautiful high touch. The Parisians are in total control this evening against a timid Le Havre team.

Hard blow for Luis Enrique ! Before the 20th minute of play, Gonçalo Ramos was forced to give up his place to Randal Kolo Muani.
21:00 – Ramos on the ground
After contact with Toute Kinkoue, Gonçalo Ramos remains on the ground. The Portuguese was hit in the ankle. Randal Kolo Muani left for the warm-up. The Le Havre defender receives a yellow card.
20:57 – Le Havre deprived of the ball
Since the kick-off, the Parisians have monopolized the ball and the Le Havre team are seriously lacking in aggression to win back the ball.
20:54 – Offside
After a huge pressure from the Parisians, Operi restarts in the axis and the young Mbaye recovers the leather. He misses his control and the ball comes back into the hands of Gonçalo Ramos. The action continues but the Portuguese is finally flagged offside.
20:51 – Parisians serene
From the first match of the season, the Parisians are in steamroller mode.
20:49 – Zague vigilant
The Le Havre players rebel and Pacho gets caught out on a touchline pass. Kechta looks for a foul but Willy Delajod doesn’t whistle anything and Zague can calmly restart from his area.
20:47 – Two minutes!
What a collective move from PSG! From their own half, the Parisians combine in one touch and find the gap. Asensio finds Hakimi who serves Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese striker passes to Kang-In Lee on the right of the area and the South Korean curls his shot to deceive Desmas. Two minutes of play and already a goal for the Parisians.

20:25 – Digard: “Everyone is united”
In Le Havre, Didier Digard had a complicated off-season with only three arrivals, whose starting positions are not necessarily hoped for: “This transfer window can offer different possibilities. […] I’m not waiting for reinforcements. I’m part of a club whose situation I know, I’m not going to ask for things that are not possible. I know that if the club can do something, it will do it, but if we have to move forward like this, we will move forward like this. The positive point is that everyone is united, we are all going in the same direction,” he declared at a press conference.
20:20 – Changes in Le Havre
After Luka Elsner left for Reims, the Le Havre management took a gamble on Digard, who is making his return to the club where he started out. Trained at Le Havre, whose colours he defended until 2007, becoming its youngest captain (20 years old) in the process, he then left for Paris Saint-Germain, the club he will face again this evening on the first day of Ligue 1.
