Hakimi scores first career hat-trick as PSG beat Le Havre 5-1

Focal Brief

Achraf Hakimi scored his first professional hat-trick and assisted PSG’s other two goals as the French champions came from behind to beat bottom-placed Le Havre 5-1 on October 30, strengthening their Ligue 1 lead.

Focal Facts

• The match was played on October 30, 2026, in Ligue 1’s ninth round.
• Hakimi scored in the 28th, 55th and 69th minutes after assisting Mika Godts’ 26th-minute equaliser.
• PSG finished the round with 20 points, two ahead of Lille.
• The victory was PSG’s ninth consecutive win across all competitions.

Focal Point

Tuesday’s team selection against Villarreal will show whether Luis Enrique restores PSG’s regular starters or again relies heavily on the squad players who helped turn the Le Havre match into a rout.

Josh Maja put Le Havre ahead in the 18th minute, but Hakimi created Godts’ equaliser eight minutes later and then beat goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart at the near post to give PSG the lead.

The Morocco international struck a direct free kick in the 55th minute before releasing Senny Mayulu to score from distance after Bodart rushed out of his penalty area. Hakimi completed the scoring with a deflected effort in the 69th minute.

PSG’s official match statistics credited the right-back with involvement in all five goals. The club said he became the first defender to record three goals and two assists in a Ligue 1 match since Opta began tracking the competition in 2006.

Coach Luis Enrique highlighted contributions from players with limited recent minutes, including David Boly, who made his Ligue 1 debut. PSG next visit Villarreal in the Champions League on November 3. The consequential question is whether the same depth can sustain PSG’s winning run against stronger opposition.
