Paris Saint-Germain, currently holding their winter camp in Doha, scored an emphatic 5-1 win over Qatar League champions Lekhwiya in a friendly at the Al Sadd Stadium yesterday.
Argentinian forward Ezequiel Lavezzi netted a brace for the winners in the first half while they added three more post breather through Kevin Gameiro, Nene and Jeremy Menez to make it a thumping win for the visitors.
Lekhwiya, who were without their Qatar internationals, but had ace Brazilian striker Nilmar, who scored the lone goal for the home side in the first half.
Algerian left-back Nadir Belhadj as their guest players, matched their star-studded rivals to a certain extent.
But PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti replaced all their players in the second half as the fresh players exposed Lekhwiya’s weaknesses time and again.
Young Brazilian winger Lucas Moura, who was officially unveiled by PSG on Tuesday, made his debut in a No.29 shirt on resumption. He almost scored after a brilliant run through the right before conceding possession in the box as a strong crowd cheered every moment of brilliance by the French League leaders.
