February 01, (THEWILL) – Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele continued his remarkable scoring form with another hat-trick in a 5-2 victory against Brest at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. The French international’s exceptional performance follows his midweek treble during PSG’s 4-1 Champions League triumph over Stuttgart.
The match began with Dembele finding the net in the 29th minute, converting Bradley Barcola’s cross with precision. Brest responded strongly after the interval, with Romain Del Castillo equalising through a well-placed strike across goal in the 50th minute, momentarily bringing the hosts level.
The momentum shifted decisively when Dembele struck twice within five minutes, completing his hat trick. His second goal came from an intelligent run onto Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s deflected pass, while his third demonstrated exceptional positioning inside the six-yard box. These goals effectively transformed the complexion of the match.
Despite Ludovic Ajorque reducing the deficit in the 71st minute, PSG maintained control through Goncalo Ramos, who added two late goals from close range. The Portuguese striker’s contribution in the final minutes reinforced PSG’s dominance and killed off any possibility of a Brest comeback.
The result strengthens PSG’s position at the summit of Ligue 1, extending their advantage to 13 points over second-placed Marseille. With 50 points from 20 matches, the defending champions continue their march toward another title, while Brest remain in eighth position with 28 points.
