Lee Kang-in scored and set up another goal as Paris Saint-Germain beat Angers 3-0 away and stayed top of France's Ligue 1 despite finishing with 10 men.

PSG won at Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers on April 26 (Korean time) in the 2025-2026 season's Round 31. The victory was PSG's second straight.

With four matches left, PSG moved closer to the title. It remained first with 69 points (22 wins, three draws, five losses), keeping a six-point cushion over second-place Lens on 63 (20 wins, three draws, seven losses).

PSG struck early. In the seventh minute, Achraf Hakimi's shot rebounded off the goalkeeper, and Lee raced in, rounded the keeper and slotted a right-footed finish.

It was Lee's third league goal of the season and his fourth in all competitions (three in the league, one in the UEFA Super Cup), his first since the Round 21 match against Marseille in February. Against Angers, he has three goals and two assists in four career appearances.

PSG doubled the lead in the 39th minute through Senny Mayulu.

Lee then delivered the assist for the third goal in the seventh minute of the second half, curling a precise right-side corner into the box for Lucas Beraldo to head home.

PSG went down a man in the 29th minute of the second half when Goncalo Ramos was sent off, but it held on for the clean sheet and a 3-0 win.

Lee played the full match and received a 8.1 rating from statistics site SofaScore, the second-highest on the team behind Beraldo (8.8).
