PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappe and Lee Kang-in scored as French champion Paris Saint-Germain beat French Cup winner Toulouse 2-0 to win the Champions Trophy on Wednesday.
Lee gave PSG the lead in the 3rd minute after receiving a pass following Ousmane Dembélé’s first pass.
Toulouse left-back Gabriel Suazo missed the equalizer in the 18th minute when he failed to respond to a pass over the defense from midfielder Aron Donnum.
Dembele and compatriot Bradley Barcola came close to PSG before Toulouse’s Dutch striker Thijs Dallinga hit the post.
PSG took advantage of that respite in the 44th minute, when Mbappe picked up a pass from Barcola and beat 18-year-old goalkeeper Guillaume Restes near the penalty spot. That took Mbappe’s tally to 22 goals in 23 games this season and raised PSG’s goal tally. to 234 since his arrival in the summer of 2017.
In recent years, the Trophée des Champions has been held as the opening of the preseason. This year’s edition was scheduled for August in Bangkok, but was postponed until June when the local organizer pulled out.
The French league decided to hold the match on home soil at PSG’s stadium in Paris rather than in Saudi Arabia or Qatar as had been expected.
