Both first two matches of the fifth round of "Ligue 1" were played last night.
The first one, where the players of "Lille" and "Bordeaux" met, was mostly marked by misses and cards, but ended with a 0-0 result. Despite the fact that the Bordeaux team playing as visitors failed to win, even after the opponent's goalkeeper Thiago Maia was sent off in the 32nd minute.
A little later, "Metz" welcomed the "Paris Saint-Germain" club in front of their own fans. Together with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, who became the second most expensive footballer the previous summer, played.
As expected, the Parisians dominated against the bottom team in the league in this match, and Edinson Cavani scored after Neymar's pass to put them ahead after playing a little over half an hour. However, Emmanuel Riviere quickly restored the balance with a header.
Despite a good performance in the first half, "Metz" ruined everything for themselves after Benoit Assou-Ekotto fouled Mbappe, who received a red card.
After this episode, Mbappe himself scored his debut goal, and a few minutes later Neymar converted a long-range shot. Finally, with the opponents making mistakes again, Cavani scored a double and the match was sealed by Lucas Moura who came on as a substitute.
Interestingly, Julian Draxler also started playing for PSG from the first minutes, so Kylian Mbappe essentially played behind Edinson Cavani.
The capital club secured their fifth victory out of five possible and continues to lead the championship.
