Achraf Hakimi scored the first hat-trick of his career and provided two assists in Paris Saint-Germain’s 5-1 Ligue 1 win at Le Havre. The Moroccan captain scored from a free kick in the 55th minute and again in the 69th, a performance reported by Africa Top Sports and Bénin Web TV, which said he was directly involved in all five Paris goals.

Le Havre opened the scoring in the 18th minute through Josh Maja, who was set up by Rayan Fofana, before Mika Godts equalised in the 26th minute from an Achraf Hakimi pass, Africa Top Sports reported. Bénin Web TV nevertheless credited Godts’s equaliser to a pass from Hakimi, then attributed Paris Saint-Germain’s second goal to Hakimi, set up by Senny Mayulu, in the 28th minute.

Hakimi scored from a free kick in the 55th minute and completed his hat-trick in the 69th, according to both media outlets. Bénin Web TV added that he then set up Mayulu, who scored in the 62nd minute, and that he was directly involved in all five Paris goals. He was substituted in the 71st minute.

Bénin Web TV said the match took place on Friday 30 October 2026 at Stade Océane, on the ninth matchday of Ligue 1. PSG have now won seven consecutive league matches and nine in all competitions, following their 2-0 victory over Lyon. Africa Top Sports reported separately that Hakimi had already scored against Olympique Lyonnais on Monday and recalled his 13th-place finish in the 2026 Ballon d’Or.

In the Paris goal, Matvey Safonov saved efforts from Mbwana Samatta late in the match and then from Rassoul Ndiaye in stoppage time, according to Bénin Web TV. Africa Top Sports also said that Désiré Doué, Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves remained on the bench throughout the match.
