Paris Saint-Germain were crowned champions of Ligue 1 after beating Olympique Lyonnais 2-0 at the Parc des Princes, on the eighth day of the season. The victory, which was decided in the second half thanks to goals from Mayulu and Godts, consolidated the position of Luis Enrique's team at the top of the table, with 17 points and a one-point margin over Rennes.
The match began with PSG dominating the game. Despite not having Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos or Nuno Mendes, the Parisian team remained in control thanks to the active performance of Doué, who generated several dangerous arrivals into the area. Lyon, however, showed resistance and got several opportunities, including a header from Niakhaté that forced PSG to use Safonov in defense. Ferran Torres also had a good chance, but goalkeeper Greif was solid.
In the second half, PSG tried to extend the lead. A few minutes later, Joao Neves was about to score with a bicycle kick, but the shot went over the top. Ferran Torres created danger again with an unmarking and a cross shot, which was stopped by Greif. Doué also contributed with a cross that was cleared by the goalkeeper. Lyon, for its part, continued to threaten with a header from Niakhaté after a play by Safonov.
The first goal of the match came in the 72nd minute, when Mayulu, having just entered the field, fired a shot from the edge of the area that hit the post, marking his first goal of the season. Two minutes later, Godts completed the victory with a powerful shot that sealed the final 2‑0. Luis Enrique's changes, who replaced Neves with Godts and brought on Mayulu and Lucas, were decisive, as both players scored.
With the result, PSG remains at the top of the table with 17 points, one point ahead of Rennes. Luis Enrique's team advances to the next phase with a streak of five consecutive victories in Ligue 1, while Olympique Lyonnais is out of the leadership zone. PSG's next match will be played on Monday, after the match was postponed due to protests in France, and the team will seek to continue consolidating its dominance in the competition.
