Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Lee Kang-in (25) put on a true 'one-man show.' He scored a stunning opening goal in the first half and set up a crucial second goal in the second half, accumulating his first multi-attack points of the season.

Lee Kang-in started in the 2025-2026 French Ligue 1 Round 31 away match against Angers at Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers, France, on the 26th (Korean time), played the full 90 minutes, recorded 1 goal and 1 assist, and led his team to a 3-0 victory.

Lee Kang-in's attack points came after an assist against Le Havre in Ligue 1 Round 24 on March 1 last year; his last goal was against Marseille in February. His first multi-attack points (two or more) in a single match since November 2024 (2 goals, 1 assist) came 1 year and 5 months ago, coincidentally against Angers again. Lee Kang-in's season attack points have increased to 8 (4 goals, 4 assists): 3 goals and 4 assists in Ligue 1, plus 1 goal in the UEFA Super Cup.

Starting as the right attacker in a 4-3-3 formation, Lee Kang-in broke the 0-0 tie in the 7th minute of the first half. After Achraf Hakimi's shot, which he attempted in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, was saved, Lee Kang-in rushed into the penalty area and finished the loose ball.

This was not simply a goal from pushing in a ball cleared by the goalkeeper. As the opposing goalkeeper rushed in to narrow the shooting angle, Lee Kang-in executed a perfect feint with his left foot, completely deceiving the keeper, and then struck the empty net with his right foot, earning applause from the fans. It was a goal that showcased his composure in front of the goal and his unique sense of play.

In the 7th minute of the second half, when Seny Mavura added a goal to make it 2-0, Lee Kang-in also recorded an assist. Taking the corner kick directly, Lee Kang-in delivered a sharp kick that set up Berroud's header for the second goal.

Although PSG fell into a numerical disadvantage in the 29th minute of the second half due to Gonçalo Ramos' red card, they had already secured the lead thanks to Lee Kang-in's outstanding performance. The match ultimately ended with a 3-0 victory for PSG.

On this day, Lee Kang-in not only recorded 1 goal and 1 assist but also achieved an impressive 96% pass success rate, created 3 chances (1 big chance), completed 4 crosses, and succeeded in 1 dribble, truly displaying his dominance. Football statistics media FotMob gave him an 8.9 rating, and Sofascore gave him an 8.1 rating, both tying for the team's second-highest rating. Berroud, who also recorded 1 goal and 1 assist, received the highest rating.

With this win, PSG extended their winning streak to two games, accumulating 69 points (22 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses), widening the gap to second-place Reims (63 points) by 6 points. With only 4 matches remaining in the league, PSG has taken another step closer to their fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title and their 14th overall championship.
