Paris Saint-Germain beat Strasbourg 3-1 at the Stade de la Meinau.
The Ligue 1 encounter on 17 October 2026 was staged at Strasbourg’s historic Stade de la Meinau. Both sides entered the match looking to add points, and the atmosphere was charged as the home crowd awaited the opening whistle.
How it unfolded
The first breakthrough came in the 17th minute when Giovanni Reyna gave Strasbourg the lead. Reyna received a pass from Gessime Yassine on the right side of the box and unleashed a left-footed shot that curled into the bottom right corner, putting the home side 1-0 up.
The balance shifted quickly after the half-hour mark. In the 76th minute Conrad Harder was booked for a bad foul, and just a minute later, in the 77th, Paris Saint-Germain levelled. Defender Illia Zabarnyi met a cross from Ousmane Dembélé following a corner, striking with his right foot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner to make it 1-1.
The following minute, 78th, Dário Essugo also received a yellow card for a bad foul, leaving Strasbourg with two cautions in quick succession.
Paris Saint-Germain took the lead in the 85th minute when Ousmane Dembélé, who had earlier provided the assist for Zabarnyi, turned his left foot to fire a shot from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner, pushing the visitors ahead 2-1.
The final blow arrived deep into stoppage time. In the third minute of added time, Désiré Doué capitalised on a pass from Ferran Torres, directing a right-footed strike from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner to seal a 3-1 win for Paris Saint-Germain.

Giovanni Reyna opened the scoring for Strasbourg, his precise left-footed finish setting the early tone.
