Lyon stunned Paris Saint-Germain early and carried a 2-0 lead for much of the night at the Parc des Princes, with Endrick striking on six minutes after being set up by Afonso Moreira, before Moreira added a second in the 18th minute from Endrick?s assist.
PSG dominated possession and territory, ending with 77 per cent of the ball, 23 shots and 13 corners, but they repeatedly found Lyon difficult to break down. Gonçalo Ramos also missed a penalty on 33 minutes, a moment that summed up the hosts? frustration.
The visitors remained more incisive with limited opportunities, producing five shots and 0.83 expected goals, while PSG?s pressure translated into 3.39 expected goals without a sustained return on the scoreline. Lyon?s early efficiency proved decisive as the home side chased the game.
In stoppage time, Fabián Ruiz teed up Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to reduce the deficit, but it was only a late consolation. Lyon left with a 2-1 victory, having withstood a late PSG push to secure the three points.
