Ferran Torres Fires PSG to First Ligue 1 Win of 2026-27 at Brest
PSG secured their first Ligue 1 victory of the 2026-27 season with a 1-0 win at Brest, as Spanish forward Torres continued his remarkable opening spell in Paris. His fifth-minute goal at Stade Francis-Le Blé ended the champions’ three-game wait for a league win and eased the immediate pressure after last weekend’s defeat to Monaco.

The visitors took control of the scoreline almost immediately when Chotard misplaced a pass. Torres linked with Ousmane Dembélé before bending his finish beyond the Brest defence, providing the only goal of a difficult contest.
It was Torres’ sixth goal from his first five appearances since arriving in the summer, a return that matches the strongest scoring beginning recorded by Ibrahimovic in PSG colours. The forward had also scored a Champions League hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava in midweek, and again supplied the decisive moment despite an uneven overall performance from Luis Enrique’s side.
Torres said PSG had not delivered their finest display, but stressed the value of taking three points from a demanding away fixture. He added that his priority is contributing in whichever role the coach gives him, whether through scoring, creating goals or his work without the ball.
The result maintains PSG’s formidable recent league record against Brest. Since Brest returned to the top division in 2019-20, this was their 13th Ligue 1 loss to the Paris club.
PSG had arrived in Brittany following a surprise 2-1 loss to Monaco, a result that had increased scrutiny on Enrique during a winless opening three league matches. The victory offers the title holders a lift, although they remain five points behind leaders Lille.
There was concern, however, over Achraf Hakimi, who left the match injured during the first half. PSG now have a full week to assess the right-back and prepare for next weekend’s trip to Marseille, where they will seek to build on a first league win while addressing the defensive concerns that have marked the early weeks of their title defence.
