The Dynamo defense turned the ball over on their own side to spark Mbappe's first scoring run. The PSG striker intercepted a pass while about 40 yards from the goal. He then sprinted around three defenders before reaching the box. Mbappe finished off the play by chipping Dynamo keeper Kevin Broll.

Mbappe went on to assist Julian Draxler in the 18th minute for PSG's second score. He gave the Ligue 1 champions a 3-0 edge in the 34th minute. PSG midfielder Marco Verratti assisted that score. Verratti lined up for a free kick and took it before the defense was set.

The lifted pass cleared the back line and bounced in front of Mbappe. He touched the ball in the box and turned his body toward the goal. Mbappe then nutmegged Broll and found the back of the net with his second tally.
