VIDEO | Coupe De France Highlights: Lyon vs PSG
Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-1 win against Lyon in the Coupe de France final, completing a domestic double and lifting the trophy for the 15th time in their history.
PSG dominated from the outset, but Lyon’s goalkeeper Perri made eight crucial saves to keep his team in the match. However, PSG broke through in the 22nd minute when Ousmane Dembélé found himself unmarked at the far post, finishing a cross from Nuno Mendes. The lead was doubled in the 34th minute when Fabian Ruiz capitalized on a defensive lapse to score.
Lyon’s hopes were revived in the 55th minute with a powerful header from O’Brian, narrowing the gap. They had opportunities to equalize, most notably a strong header from Nicolás Tagliafico in the 64th minute, which forced a significant save from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
This victory underlines PSG’s domestic dominance, adding to their Ligue 1 title earlier in the season.
