Hakimi double saves PSG at Metz to stretch perfect Ligue 1 start

The Morocco defender struck twice in each half of the encounter to keep the Parisians' perfect start to the league campaign

Achraf Hakimi scored a brace that steered Paris Saint-Germain to a 2-1 win over Metz in a Ligue 1 outing on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old stood out for the visitors at the Stade Saint-Symphorien with his attacking and defensive contributions.

In the absence of Lionel Messi who was not included in the matchday squad, Hakimi opened the scoring for PSG in the fifth minute but it was cancelled out by Mali's Boubakar Kouyate in the 39th minute.
