Brest, who claimed a draw at Parc des Princes earlier in the season in Ligue 1, came close to breaking the deadlock when, Martin Satriano hit the post with a fine curled effort after 30 minutes. 

But from there, PSG took control, Mbappe opened the scoring with a driven shot from a tight angle.

Danilo Pereira doubled their lead shortly after, and though Brest pulled one back in the second half through Steve Mounie following a well-worked counter-attack, their chances of a turnaround were ended by a silly red card for centre-back Lilian Brassier.

Goncalo Ramos then added a third in second-half stoppage-time to put the result beyond doubt and secure PSG's passage to the quarter-finals.

 Mbappe has evolved under Luis Enrique, and he was vital in multiple facets of the game against Brest, not only taking the opening goal wonderfully, but also pressing diligently, and creating opportunities for others.
