In the fifth minute, Lionel Messi scored the game’s lone goal to give the visitors a two-fer.

With this win, PSG now sits atop French Ligue 1 by themselves with 22 points, profiting from

Olympique Marseille’s misstep (20 points).

Olympique Lyonnais, however, let its supporters down and suffered its third League One

defeat this year, freezing its score at 13 points and placing them in sixth position.

The Paris giant surprised his opponent early on with a goal scored by Messi with a deft

touch following an accepted gift from Neymar Jr. They did not give their opponent a chance

to catch their breath.

PSG nearly added insult to injury for Lyon, but Messi, Mbappe, and Fabian Ruiz squandered

additional opportunities that were really close to being successful.

The hosts recovered from the initial shock and gradually became more involved in the

action, posing multiple dangerous threats to Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal.

The offensive trio of Alexandre Lacazette, Moussa Dembele, and Olympique Lyonnais

Ekambi, though, lacked concentration in the decisive moment.

Neymar Jr. unexpectedly startled everyone with a long shot during the excitement and

offensive rush, which the Lyon goalie just just saved.

Messi’s wasted goal

As Messi wasted a clear opportunity 50 seconds after the second half began, the Paris team came dangerously close to repeating the early shock situation.

Half time
Lopez, the goalkeeper for Olympique Lyonnais, was alert in stopping additional attempts from Messi and Neymar Jr., while Mbappe was the least active member of the Paris assault.
The outcome of the meeting was still up in the air, so Christophe Galtier made an effort to reenergize the ranks by substituting Mokili and Vitina with Fabian Ruiz and Marco Verratti in an effort to breathe new life into the center.
When it came to Lyon, he lacked any offensive fangs, and neither the trio nor the backup option, Ryan Sharqi, posed a threat to Dembele, Lacazette, or Ekambi.
