Brazilian star Neymar continued his brilliance this season in the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain, scoring one goal and scoring another for his team by beating Lorient 2-1 outside their stadium in the 14th round of the French Football League today, Sunday.
Saint-Germain raised his score to 38 points, 5 points higher than his direct competitor, Lens.
Argentine star Lionel Messi was absent from the ranks of the French capital squad due to an Achilles tendon infection and on Saturday coach Christophe Galtier explained at a press conference: “Leo has tendonitis, I think he will be ready for the next game. “
And he played the young striker Hugo Eketiki instead of Messi on the front line.
After 9 minutes, Ikitiki grabbed the ball from Lorient’s Swiss goalkeeper Yvonne Mfugo and handed it to Neymar, who dribbled a defender before shooting into the net.

Neymar raised his league score to 11 goals, tied with colleague Kylian Mbappé at the top of the scorer list. Neymar has also contributed 9 assists this season.
It showed that Lorient, surprise of the season by occupying fourth place, drew with Nigerian Terim Movi early in the second half (53).
The last word was for Saint Germain, whose Portuguese defender Danilo scored the winning goal nine minutes before the end of a corner header.
Saint-Germain have not lost any local or continental games since the start of the current season, something that no other team has achieved in the five major European leagues.
