PARIS, Sept. 8-- Teen sensation Kylian Mbappe found the target in his debut for Paris Saint-Germain as the Ligue 1 leaders eased past Metz 5-1 to open the campaign with five wins from five matches on Friday. The 18-year-old Mbappe joined PSG on a loan from defending champions Monaco hours before the transfer window closed, with a fee of reportedly 180 million euros after his one-season loan spell in the capital club. After coming back from the international duty for France, he continued in-form performance for his maiden goal in PSG in the 59th minute, also his first in the league this season. Mbappe also saw his new attacking partners score en route to a comfortable road victory over the bottom-ranked side without a single point. The German international Julian Draxler of PSG forced Japanese goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji into a brilliant save 11 minutes into the game, before Edinson Cavani hit the post in the 22nd minute. The draught didn't last long for PSG, as the Uruguayan striker collected Neymar's stitching cross to find the net on 31 minutes. However, the visitors paid the price for their leaking defense just six minutes later. Mathieu Dossevi eased through PSG defenders and crossed from the right flank, making it quite comfortable for Emmanuel Riviere's header. Riviere even got a chance of turning around the table early in the second half, while failing to convert a poor header clearance of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. |
