Paris Saint-Germain's victory was made possible by goals from Senny Mayulu and Mika Godts, who both made an impact off the bench. The match was played on the evening of the Ballon d'Or-gala, similar to 2025 when the match was postponed due to rain. Without injured players Ousmane Dembélé and Chvitsja Kvaratschelia, PSG struggled to gain a significant lead over Lyon. Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov made several crucial saves to prevent Lyon from scoring.
Mayulu broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with a well-placed shot from 18 meters after a cross from Godts. Godts then sealed the win with a goal in the final minutes, securing a 2-0 victory for PSG.
