PSG’s Dominance and Hakimi’s Brace

PSG took control of the match early on, with Ousmane Dembélé showcasing his impressive form. The team has also integrated Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is adapting to their style of play and causing constant danger.

The second half saw PSG push harder, and in just six minutes, they secured the victory. First, in the 53rd minute, Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring after a cross from Bradley Barcola. Then, in the 59th minute, Dembélé added a stunning goal with his left foot following an assist from Kvaratskhelia.

Despite some chances from Lyon, who capitalized on a counterattack finished by Mathis Cherki in the 70th minute, PSG sealed the win when Hakimi scored again in the 76th minute, assisted by Kang In Lee. Corentin Tolisso’s added-time goal made it 3-2, but it was too late for Lyon to turn the match around.
