Ferrán Torres, who had recently scored a hat-trick in the Champions League, was the author of the decisive goal. The Spanish forward initiated the move four minutes into the game, passing the ball to Joao Neves, who then played it to Ousmane Dembelé. Dembelé's precise pass allowed Ferrán to score the winning goal with a perfectly angled shot.

The win was crucial for PSG, who had previously drawn two and lost one game in the season's opening stages. With five points, they now sit seventh in the table, five units behind the three leaders, Lille, Monaco, and Rennes.
