SG Edge Toulouse in a 9-Goal Spectacle as João Neves Shines

Football fans were treated to an unforgettable Ligue 1 showdown as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) crushed Toulouse 6-3 in a game that had everything — hat tricks, penalties, VAR drama, and breathtaking goals. The standout of the night? João Neves, the 20-year-old Portuguese sensation, who produced a dazzling hat trick, including not one but two stunning bicycle kicks.

Neves Lights Up the Night

When PSG needed inspiration, Neves delivered it in style. In just seven electrifying minutes, he scored twice with audacious overhead kicks. His first came in the seventh minute, a perfectly executed strike that stunned both defenders and goalkeeper Guillaume Restes. Barely had the home crowd caught its breath when Neves struck again — this time with an even more spectacular effort, chesting the ball down before acrobatically firing it into the top corner.

Those goals, coupled with Bradley Barcola’s composed ninth-minute finish after a through ball from Fabián Ruiz, gave PSG a shocking 3-0 lead within the opening 14 minutes. Toulouse were shell-shocked, but the drama had only just begun.

Dembélé Steps Up from the Spot

While Neves was the star of open play, Ousmane Dembélé added his own mark with penalties on either side of halftime. His first came after Cristian Cásseres Jr. fouled inside the box. And though Restes guessed the direction correctly, the Frenchman’s strike was too precise.

In the second half, Barcola was fouled in the box, handing Dembélé another opportunity from 12 yards. He coolly dispatched his penalty, stretching PSG’s lead to 5-1 and reasserting their dominance.

Toulouse Show Spirit Despite Defensive Lapses

Toulouse refused to collapse despite being outplayed for much of the match. Charlie Cresswell produced their first breakthrough in the 37th minute. Reacting quickest to a rebound after Lucas Chevalier parried Mario Sauer’s effort. Even then, VAR had to confirm the goal, adding another layer of tension.

The home side earned a golden chance to cut the deficit before halftime with a penalty. But Lucas Chevalier saved Frank Magri’s strike. After the referee called encroachment, Cristian Cásseres Jr. retook it. Only for Chevalier to deny him again.It summed up Toulouse’s frustrating night in front of goal.

Late in the match, however, Toulouse restored some pride. Yann Gboho tapped home in the 89th minute, and Alexis Vossah struck in stoppage time. Ensuring the scoreline reflected their attacking persistence.

Neves Completes His Hat Trick

The crowning moment of the night came in the 78th minute. A defensive lapse from Toulouse saw the ball fall kindly to Neves, who wasted no time in smashing home a rocket into the top-right corner. He scored his third goal of the evening — a hat trick that PSG fans and Ligue 1 followers everywhere will remember for years.

What This Means for PSG and Toulouse

For PSG, this match was a reminder of their incredible attacking arsenal but also a warning sign defensively. Scoring six goals away from home is impressive, but conceding three against a mid-table opponent raises questions about their backline solidity. With tougher Champions League nights ahead, Luis Enrique will need to balance flair with discipline.

For Toulouse, the result stung, but their late goals and moments of resilience could serve as motivation. Scoring three times against PSG shows their attacking capabilities, even if defensive errors proved costly.
