Ligue 1 fixtures and results
Hakimi, already decisive
Summer rookie expected this summer, Achraf Hakimi already seems at ease in his right lane.
Always available, the Moroccan showed good dispositions on the lawn of the Aube stadium.
Very punchy, he allowed PSG to equalize after a failed start to the game on a good call, then a strike that left no chance for the Trojan goalkeeper.
Right in his game, he is the good surprise of the moment for the club of the capital.

Herrera, involved on both goals
The Spanish midfielder was able to make the difference thanks to two kicks that released his team.
In difficulty to face the dense block of Estac, Paris needed variety in its game to find gaps.
And Ander Herrera was able to wake up his team by first throwing Hakimi on the 1st goal, then Mbappé on the action of the 2nd goal concluded by Icardi.
Mbappé, already in tune
Of course, the Frenchman does not have many days of preparation in his legs, but what he has shown is already remarkable.
Sharp on the left, the Parisian striker still made a lot of differences and is to be credited with an assist for Icardi.
Always dangerous when he has the ball, he will now gain momentum during this month of August.
Navas, still at the rendezvous
The competition from Donnarumma could disturb him but Keylor Navas did not seem to be on the lawn of Troyes.
Vigilant in the air, the Costa Rican goalkeeper was still present on several decisive parades, both against Ripart in the first period (28th, 35th), to that of the last minute on a long shot from Tardieu (90th + 1).
Flops
A well-jostled Parisian defense
If Paris appeared to be coherent in its collective expression, the same cannot be said of its defense, which was very jostled, especially at the start of the game.
Diallo did not breathe serenity on the left, nor the Kimpembe-Kehrer hinge, at fault on the Trojan goal.
On the opposite sides of the Estac, we also noticed that the lack of withdrawal of certain elements could prove to be problematic.
Recurring shortcomings that will have to be corrected this season.

Troyes, a promoted who has not been unworthy
Last season, Troyes managed to deploy the most beautiful game in Ligue 2, which led him to climb into the elite. And Laurent Batlles, the coach, seems eager to continue this momentum in Ligue 1. Facing PSG, his players did not seem impressed and offered some good sequences, showing themselves to be threatening until the end. To be continued.
Draxler, still disappointing
The matches follow one another and are similar for Julian Draxler. Yet holder and appreciated by Mauricio Pochettino, the German often hides in midfield and this match in Troyes was no exception. Positioned as the axial leader, he never weighed on the meeting. For his part, the other rookie Georginio Wijnaldum seemed short of competition but should gain pace over the weeks.
