João Neves flying high! Ex-Benfica star shines for PSG against Le Havre | OneFootball

João Neves remains the talk of the town after yet another excellent performance. The former star from Benfica's youth academy stood out in PSG's victory against Le Havre, where the Portuguese international once again displayed his goal-scoring traits. The Parisians won three-nil.

Starting for the Paris team alongside fellow countryman Vitinha, João Neves's good form doesn't seem to surprise Luis Enrique. It's worth noting that the Catalan coach, during the press conference, remarked that the former Benfica player has not deviated from his usual performance.

In the opening minutes, João Neves gave the first warning to Le Havre with a strong shot that was securely saved by the opposing goalkeeper. However, the scoreboard only changed for the first time at the 29th minute, after a finish by Kang In Lee, taking PSG into halftime leading 1-0.

In the second half, the home team faced some difficulties against a very cohesive Le Havre defense. However, with Paris's persistence, João Neves found the back of the net in the 65th minute, making him the top scorer for the French team. Near the end, Barcola made it 3-0 for PSG.

With this victory, in a challenging match at the Parc des Princes against a Le Havre that came to play, the French champion returned to the top of Ligue 1, now with 30 points, two points ahead of Marseille and Lens, their direct rivals in the race.
