Lens has defeated PSG 1-0 to win the French Super Cup. Under the guidance of coach Toppmöller, the team has upset the reigning European and French champions, who recently claimed the European Super Cup, making history by lifting the national trophy for the first time. The decisive moment in the match between Paris, the dominant force in last season's Ligue 1, and Lens, the triumphant winner of the latest French Cup, came from a familiar face in Italian football: Florian Thauvin.
Udol's Assist, Thauvin's Clinical Finish, Antonio's Red Card, but Lens Beats PSG
Carried by their passionate supporters at the Bollaert-Delelis Stadium, Lens accomplished a remarkable feat. The crucial goal arrived in the 32nd minute when Udol delivered a masterful assist to the far post for Thauvin. Digne, caught out of position, failed to trigger the offside trap, paving the way for the former Udinese player to score an unstoppable shot past Safonov. From the 39th minute onwards, Lens was reduced to ten men when Antonio was sent off for a high foot challenge on Akliouche's shin. Doué was unfortunate to hit the crossbar. With Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé effectively contained, a goal for Fabián Ruiz was disallowed for offside in the 76th minute. In the 87th minute, PSG also saw a player sent off, with Nuno Mendes receiving a red card for an elbow on Skoras off the ball. Despite late surges, Luis Enrique's efforts to add another trophy to his collection were in vain. Lens secured the victory and has thrown down the gauntlet for the upcoming league season.
