Ferran Torres fires PSG to first Ligue 1 win with decisive

Ferran Torres delivered Paris Saint-Germain's first Ligue 1 win of the season, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory away at Brest on Sunday, September 13, 2026. The Spanish forward's early strike ended a sluggish domestic start for the champions and continued his prolific personal form since arriving from Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain needed a spark after collecting just two points from their first three league games. They got it inside five minutes at the Stade Francis-Le Ble. Ousmane Dembele, last season's Ballon d'Or winner, provided a clever backheel into the path of the charging Torres. The 26-year-old collected the ball just outside the penalty area and guided a precise finish into the bottom corner, beating goalkeeper Egil Selvik. That fifth-minute goal proved enough for the three points, lifting PSG to eighth in the [standings](/standings).

Brest had been unbeaten before the match and created chances of their own, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia coming close for the visitors in an open first half. The occasion was also marked by a pre-kickoff tribute from the home side to their former coach Eric Roy, who died in June. For PSG and manager Luis Enrique, however, the primary focus was on securing a result. Torres's clinical finish provided exactly that, a moment of quality in a tight contest.

The goal against Brest was Torres's sixth in just five appearances across all competitions for his new club. His integration has been swift and decisive. Just four days before the league win, he netted a hat-trick in PSG's Champions League opener, a 6-1 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday, September 9. That performance announced his arrival on the European stage with his new team, who are chasing a third consecutive title in that competition.

His scoring run extends a remarkable summer. Torres was the hero for Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, netting the winning goal that secured the trophy. He has carried that confidence into his club career with PSG. Speaking after the Brest match, Torres emphasized his team-first mentality. "What matters to me is always helping the team, regardless of how much playing time the coach decides to give me, and doing my part," he said. "Whether that's through goals, assists, or my work on the pitch."

Before Sunday's result, PSG's league campaign was a cause for concern. The defending champions had drawn two and lost one of their opening three fixtures, an unusual position for a squad of their caliber. The comprehensive midweek Champions League victory offered a blueprint, and the narrow win at Brest provided the necessary league foundation. The result gave PSG an identical record to their hosts, moving them up the table with work still to do.

The team now has momentum from two important wins in four days. Luis Enrique will hope the victory, built on Torres's early magic and a solid defensive display, is the catalyst for a sustained climb up the Ligue 1 table.
