Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Lyon in the eighth week of the 2026/27 French League at the Parc des Princes. The hosts worked hard to earn the win, scoring both goals in the second half through Senny Mayulu and Mika Godts to take home three points and move to the top of the standings with 17 points.
Both teams pressed hard during a scoreless first half. Paris Saint-Germain tested the defense through Desire Doue and Ferran Torres, while Lyon responded with attempts from Ernest Nuamah, Julien Duranville, and Zachary Athekame. Goalkeepers Dominik Greif and Matvey Safonov successfully blocked all early efforts to keep the match level at halftime.
The tactical changes paid off in the second half when Senny Mayulu broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute. Shortly after coming on as a substitute, Mayulu fired a shot from the edge of the penalty area past Greif following a pass from Mika Godts. Godts then sealed the victory in the 84th minute by capitalizing on a counter-attack and converting a long pass from Quentin Ndjantou into the right corner of the net.
