(Dan Tri) – Striker Kylian Mbappe shined brightly with a hat-trick against home team Montpellier and helped Paris Saint Germain (PSG) defeat the opponent with a score of 6-2.

In the match of round 26 of Ligue 1 taking place this morning (March 18, Vietnam time), with superior class, the away team PSG soon opened the score after 14 minutes of rolling thanks to Vitinha’s goal after

The Portuguese international confidently held the ball past two defenders before finishing with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area into the far corner.

Mbappe, in his 200th game for PSG, got himself on the scoresheet just eight minutes later, thanks to a wall-to-wall combination with Kolo Muani and finishing with his left foot from a tight angle.

But home team Montpellier counterattacked in the 30th minute with Jordan Ferri’s pass from the left wing, allowing Arnaud Nordin to head in from close range and hit goalkeeper Donnarumma.

The home team suddenly received a penalty in the 45+2 minute of injury time because Tanguy Coulibaly was fouled by goalkeeper Donnarumma in the penalty area.

The score 2-2 was the result before the two teams entered halftime.

In the 53rd minute, PSG doubled the gap when Lee Kang In shot with his left foot from outside the penalty area and created a beautiful arc that sent goalkeeper Dimitry Bertaud helplessly flying to block.

In the 63rd minute, from Vitinha’s pass in the middle of the field, striker Mbappe quickly escaped to complete his personal hat-trick in this match.

This is also his 250th goal for the club in all competitions since joining PSG and bringing his total number of goals in Ligue 1 this season to 24 after 24 appearances.
