Match report
Paris Saint Germain beat Lyon in Ligue 1 on Monday, October 26, with the match ending 2-0. The sides were level at half-time, but the final score settled the contest in favour of Paris Saint Germain. Lyon finished without a goal, and the result was a 2-0 win for Paris Saint Germain over Lyon.
The scoreline gives the match a clear outcome, while the interval score marks a change between the first and second halves: neither side had scored before the break, and Paris Saint Germain had moved ahead by full time. That is the shape of the result the confirmed figures support. They establish the winner and the scoring, but do not describe the chances, the order of the goals or the balance of play. The match was played at Parc des Princes.
The numbers
Paris Saint Germain scored two goals, Lyon scored no goals, and the match produced two goals. At the interval the score was 0-0. Those figures distinguish a level first half from a finish in which only Paris Saint Germain scored; they do not, by themselves, show how the scoring chances were created or how either side performed beyond the outcome.
The final margin therefore came from the goals recorded after the teams went in level. Lyon's failure to score is part of the same picture: the result was not a draw, and Paris Saint Germain's goals were enough to decide it. No further match statistics are available here to support claims about possession, shots or individual contributions, so the assessment rests on the result and the scoring record.
