Kylian Mbappe shines as he scores 5 goals to secure a win for PSG in coup de France

 

Kylian Mbappe recorded the first five-goal haul of his career on Monday to help Paris Saint-Germain cruise into the last 16 of the Coupe de France.

Mbappe netted in the 29th, 35th, 40th, 56th and 79th minutes as PSG thrashed US Pays de Cassel 7-0 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Neymar and Carlos Soler also scored  one each for PSG.

Pays de Cassel usually compete in the sixth tier of French soccer and they were overwhelmed by a PSG team that also included Vitinha, Hugo Ekitike and Sergio Ramos.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi was being rested and did not feature in Monday's game.

Mbappe had scored four goals in one match before but never five.

His first four-goal haul came in a 5-0 win for PSG against Lyon in October 2018. 

Mbappe also scored four times for France in an 8-0 victory over Kazakhstan in November 2021.
