The PSG goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier, delivered numerous key saves, while Le Havre’s Issa Soumare struck the post shortly after PSG took a 2-0 lead.
Chevalier showcased his skills with a remarkable save, deflecting a shot from PSG defender Warren Zaire-Emery that was cleared off the line.
Lee opened the scoring for Luis Enrique’s side with a first-time shot that deflected off Le Havre keeper Mory Diaw, finding the net four minutes later.
In the second half, Chevalier managed to punch away a free-kick from Yanis Zouaoui, but PSG quickly doubled their advantage when Neves scored from a rebound after a save by Diaw, striking the ball into the post.
