Neves Unleashed: PSG Obliterates Toulouse in a Crunch Match Turned Rout

Must Watch Futmetrix Score: 92/100. What promised to be a competitive showdown between PSG's unbeaten run and Toulouse's resurgence became a masterclass in attacking intensity at Stadium de Toulouse, with the capital giants imposing their will from the opening whistle.

Three Goals in Seven Minutes: The Match Was Already Over

João Neves struck in the 7th minute, teed up by Ousmane Dembélé, before Bradley Barcola doubled the lead two minutes later. Neves added a third at the 14th to create a false sense of balance: 0-3 in thirteen minutes. Toulouse was already broken, but the narrative would twist further. A penalty from Dembélé at the 31st made it 0-4 before half-time, while C. Cresswell offered token resistance for the hosts.

VAR Drama, Spot-Kicks, and Dembélé's Clinical Double

The second half brought controversy: VAR confirmed a penalty at the 50th minute, which Dembélé converted at the 51st for his brace. Toulouse, galvanized by substitutes, clawed back two late goals: Y. Gboho at the 89th and A. Vossah at the 90th, assisted by S. Hidalgo. Despite this late upset factor, PSG controlled proceedings with 76% possession and 94% pass accuracy. Neves signed a rare hat-trick (only 0.9% of scorers achieve this), while Dembélé completed the picture with a brace and one assist.

Nine Goals, Two Penalties, One Masterclass

This nine-goal thriller exposed the gulf between the unbeaten leaders and a challenger in transition. Toulouse, with two wins in three matches, sits seventh on 6 points, while PSG consolidates first place with 9 points and a perfect record. PSG's relentless intensity, paired with Toulouse's defensive fragility, transformed what could have been a genuine contest into a statement of dominance.
