Relive the best moments from the Parc des Princes, including both second-half goals that put PSG top of the table.
First Half: Lyon Hold Firm
PSG started on the front foot, controlling possession through Désiré Doué and Ferran Torres. Dominik Greif was busy early, denying Doué, while Matvey Safonov had to make two important saves at the other end to keep out Julien Duranville and Zachary Athekame. Despite the pressure, both teams went into the break at 0-0.
72' - Mayulu Breaks The Deadlock
The breakthrough came in the 72nd minute. Mika Godts found fellow substitute Senny Mayulu inside the box, and Mayulu fired a low shot into the left corner to make it 1-0. The goal rewarded PSG's persistence and highlighted the impact of Enrique's bench.
84' - Godts Seals The Win
PSG made sure of the points 12 minutes later. Quentin Ndjantou started a quick counter, and Mika Godts finished from the edge of the area for 2-0. It was his first goal for the club and the moment that ended any hope of a Lyon comeback.
Tactical Analysis: Patience Pays Off
PSG dominated the ball but struggled to break down Lyon's organised block in the first half. The difference was squad depth — Mayulu added fresh energy, Godts provided a goal and an assist, and Ndjantou created the second. Once Lyon had to chase the game, spaces opened up for PSG to finish it.
