Lens stunned PSG to claim the French Super Cup this Sunday, securing a historic 1-0 victory.
Florian Thauvin notched the only goal of the game to secure the club’s first-ever title in the competition, sparking scenes of jubilation at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Lens: The hosts broke the deadlock after 31 minutes when Matthieu Udol’s driven cross-shot was met at the back post by Florian Thauvin, who made no mistake from close range. Lens were forced to dig deep after Kyllian Antonio was shown a straight red for a heavy challenge on Akliouche, but they stood firm under intense pressure to claim a historic piece of silverware.
PSG: Luis Enrique’s side were unable to make their man advantage count. PSG saw an equaliser ruled out for offside and were left to rue a series of missed openings, with Dembele particularly guilty of squandering clear-cut chances. Any hope of a late comeback faded when Nuno Mendes was also sent off in the final minutes, ensuring both teams finished the match with ten men.
