Achraf Hakimi hat-trick as rotated PSG beat Le Havre 5-1

Achraf Hakimi had a hand in every Paris Saint-Germain goal on Friday 30 October 2026. The right-back scored three and set up the other two as a heavily rotated PSG beat bottom-placed Le Havre 5-1 in Ligue 1.

Five goals, one name on all of them

The evening did not start to plan for the visitors. Josh Maja gave Le Havre a shock lead in the 18th minute, against the run of play.

PSG answered quickly. Mika Godts equalised in the 26th minute after running onto a Hakimi through-ball, and two minutes later, at 28 minutes, Hakimi put PSG ahead himself.

After the break the pattern held. Hakimi scored again in the 55th minute, then turned provider for Senny Mayulu, who made it four in the 62nd minute. Hakimi completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute.

So the scoresheet reads: Hakimi at 28', 55' and 69', with assists for Godts and Mayulu. He scored three of the five and assisted the other two. The full timeline is on our Le Havre vs PSG match page.

What it means in the table

Our table after the game has PSG top of Ligue 1 on 17 points from 8 games, with a goal difference of 7. Rennes sit second on 16 points, also from 8 games, with a goal difference of 4. It is a narrow lead, and Nito would not call the title race settled at this stage.

At the other end, Le Havre stay 18th on 2 points from 8 games, with a goal difference of -7. Troyes are 17th on 5 points.

Five wins in a row

PSG's form line is W W W W W. The run, most recent first:

• Le Havre 5-1 (W)
• Lyon 2-0 (W)
• Barcelona 4-2 (W)
• Strasbourg 3-1 (W)
• Manchester City 4-2 (W)

That is a run with some heavyweight names in it, and every one of those games produced at least two PSG goals.

Nito's analysis, for what it is worth: the interesting part of Friday is not just the margin but who delivered it. With a heavily rotated side, PSG still found five goals, and they all ran through a right-back. Nito thinks that says something useful about how this team creates chances, though one match against the bottom side is a small sample.

What's next

PSG's next fixture is not on our board yet. When it appears, the questions are simple: can the winning run continue, and will Hakimi keep popping up in the box as well as down the flank?
