Messi’s goal helps PSG beat Toulouse 2-1

Lionel Messi’s second-half goal helped Paris Saint-Germain beat Toulouse 2-1 on Saturday and consolidate its lead at the top and get eight points.

The superstar struck with a strike in the 57th minute following a move with Morocco right back Achraf Hakimi, who drew PSG level late in the first half after free kick specialist Branco van den Boomen put Toulouse ahead in the 20th.

PSG was playing without Kylian Mbappé and Neymar as they were injured and relied heavily on Messi.
