Lyon defeated PSG 2-1 at Parc des Princes on Sunday.
This result raises the question: How did Lyon manage to beat the league leaders?
Early Tuesday, Lyon struck twice within the first 18 minutes. Endrick and Afonso Moreira scored, putting PSG on the back foot.
Despite their efforts, PSG struggled to recover. Gonçalo Ramos had a penalty saved in the first half, which could have changed the game’s momentum.
As of midday, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored a consolation goal for PSG during stoppage time. This was his 14th league goal of the season.
Lyon’s victory moved them from sixth to third place in Ligue 1. They stunned PSG, reducing the leaders’ advantage to just one point.
PSG remains one point ahead of second-placed Lens with a game in hand. They have averaged 2.62 points per home game this season.
But Lyon’s away win rate is only 33%. They had only one win in their last six league matches before this game.
The match highlights a turning point for Lyon, who claimed their first win over PSG since April 2023.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding injuries or tactical changes following this match.
