Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Dominates US Orleans in French Cup with Kylian Mbappe’s Stellar Performance
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a convincing 4-1 victory over US Orleans in the French Cup, with Kylian Mbappe playing a starring role. The Ligue 1 champions took control of the match early on, and Mbappe opened the scoring in the 16th minute after Randal Kolo Muani’s initial attempt was saved. Mbappe continued to shine, doubling PSG’s lead in the 63rd minute with a deflected shot that resulted in a penalty. He confidently converted the penalty to complete his brace.
In the 72nd minute, Mbappe provided a perfect cross for Goncalo Ramos, who headed home to extend PSG’s lead. Although US Orleans briefly pulled one back with a header from captain Nicolas Saint-Ruf, PSG quickly responded as Mbappe provided another assist for Senny Mayulu to score their fourth goal.
Kylian Mbappe’s exceptiоnal perfоrmance, with twо gоals and twо assists, left the US оrleans defenders struggling tо cоntain the French superstar.
