Achraf Hakimi scores first career hat-trick as PSG thump struggling Le Havre 5-1

Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi scored the first hat-trick of his professional career as Paris Saint-Germain came from behind to beat struggling Le Havre 5-1 in Ligue 1 on Friday night.

The right-back delivered a remarkable attacking performance, scoring three goals to help the French champions secure a convincing victory in their Round 9 fixture.

Le Havre took a surprise lead in the 19th minute when Rayan Fofana set up Josh Maja inside the penalty area, with the forward calmly rolling the ball past Matvey Safonov.

However, PSG responded quickly, with Mika Godts restoring parity in the 26th minute after being set up by Hakimi.

Just two minutes later, the Moroccan defender put the visitors ahead. Senny Mayulu provided the assist, allowing Hakimi to curl the ball into the right side of the net to make it 2-1.

The goal completed his brace and further strengthened PSG’s control of the match.

Mayulu added a fourth in the 62nd minute, producing a superb long-range effort that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

Hakimi then completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute, showing excellent awareness inside the six-yard box before using his body to guide the ball beyond the goalkeeper and make it 5-1.

Historic night for Morocco captain

The three goals marked the first career hat-trick for the Moroccan international, who played a decisive role in PSG’s emphatic victory.

His performance also highlighted his attacking contribution from the right-back position, as the reigning French champions recovered from an early setback to claim all three points.

The result means PSG will finish the week on top of the French Ligue 1 standings.
