Paris Saint-Germain beat Lyon 2-0 at the Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain hosted Lyon in a Ligue 1 clash on 26 October 2026 at the Parc des Princes, Paris. The atmosphere was typical of a top-flight French fixture, with both sides looking to add three points to their campaigns.

How it unfolded

The first half remained tightly contested, with neither side breaking the deadlock. The game’s first notable incident came in the 31st minute when Vitinha received a yellow card for a bad foul, marking the earliest booking of the match.

The second half opened with Paris Saint-Germain pressing forward, and the breakthrough arrived in the 72nd minute. Senny Mayulu fired a right-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner, putting the home side ahead. The strike was set up by Mika Godts, whose precise pass opened the space for Mayulu to finish.

Just two minutes later, Lyon’s Ernest Nuamah was shown a yellow card, adding to the disciplinary tally.

Paris Saint-Germain doubled their lead ten minutes after the first goal. Mika Godts, who had earlier assisted, turned the tables by scoring in the 84th minute. His right-footed effort from outside the box found the bottom right corner, completing the scoring action that followed a fast break orchestrated by Quentin Ndjantou.

The remainder of the match saw PSG maintain control, while Lyon were unable to respond, and the scoreline held at 2-0 until the final whistle.

Standout performers

Senny Mayulu earned the match-winning goal, demonstrating composure from distance and capitalising on Mika Godts’ assist.

Mika Godts was instrumental on both ends of the score sheet, providing the assist for Mayulu’s opener and then delivering the second goal himself after a quick transition led by Quentin Ndjantou.

Quentin Ndjantou’s contribution to the second goal, linking play on the fast break, was also a key factor in the home side’s success.
