Timothy Weah has had a strong preseason with French giants Paris Saint-Germain and that carried over on Saturday as the Ligue 1 champs lifted their first trophy of the season.
PSG routed Monaco 4-0 to lift the French Super Cup with Weah scoring the third goal in the triumph.
Angel Di Maria’s opener came in the 33rd minute for Thomas Tuchel’s side before Christopher Nkunku doubled the lead in the 40th minute.
Weah would get in on the action in the second-half, slotting in Stanley N’Soki’s assist into the back of the net. A great run by N’Soki freed up Weah in the center of the box and the forward made no mistake with the finish.

Di Maria would cap his brace in the 93rd minute as PSG rolled their way to the win.
As for Weah, this is his second goal of the new season with PSG as they now prepare for Ligue 1 play to begin. PSG hosts Caen on Aug. 12 in their Ligue 1 opener with Weah hoping to be part of the first-team.
Off the subject but saw reports of DC United trying to bring back Bill Hamid before the close of the transfer window and he wasn’t in the 18 today for his club
Playing in MLS is a lot better than not playing abroad. If this season was on track to be like last season, the move officially didn’t work out. DCU could certainly use him (not that his replacements have been poor, but Hamid made saves that earned points).
It will be really fantastic if Tim can break out in a big way for PSG this season. Fingers crossed.
This is a game of some significance, so the fact that he was out there on the pitch is important in and of itself. Even if he only comes on in late minutes for the club, that would be an important development.
