PSG takes the lead thanks to Mayulu and Godts against Lyon

While football's awards were being presented in London, Paris Saint‑Germain asserted itself in Paris. This Monday, at the Parc des Princes, the French champion beat Lyon 2‑0, only finding the breakthrough in the last twenty minutes.

The absence of Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia forced Luis Enrique to look for two offensive solutions. Paris dominated the first half but struggled to convert, despite chances created by Fabián Ruiz and Ferran Torres. Lyon's goalkeeper Dominik Greif kept the net untouched.

Lyon, disciplined, offered solid resistance. Ernest Nuamah's initiatives tested the Parisian defence, while Matvey Safonov intervened decisively on a dangerous cross.

Mayulu opens the scoring

Senny Mayulu's introduction in the 72nd minute changed the game. The young midfielder struck with remarkable power from the edge of the box, opening the scoring with a powerful shot. This goal broke the wall that Paris had faced since the start.

Twelve minutes later, Mika Godts confirmed the win. Served by a fine pass from Quentin Ndjantou, the Belgian finished with a clean strike in the 84th minute, scoring his first goal in Parisian colours. This double secured the 2‑0 result.

Impact on the standings

This victory takes PSG to its fifth consecutive league win and sees it overtake OL in the table, placing it at the top ahead of Lyon. The French champion thus consolidates its position as league leader.

While football was handing out its awards in London, PSG claimed first place in Paris. The evening showed that, even without its injured stars, the Parisian club could seize opportunities.

The contrast between the London honours and the Parisian takeover highlights the squad's depth and Luis Enrique's ability to get the substitutes speaking. Two young entrants provided the key to an still fragile victory.
