Lens defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the French Super Cup final to claim the season's first trophy. The only goal of the match came in the 32nd minute of the first half, scored by Florian Thauvin. Thauvin's goal gave Lens the lead going into the rest of the match.
The encounter proved difficult for PSG. In the 39th minute, Kyllian Antonio was sent off, leaving his side down to ten men. This early red card meant the Paris side had to battle with a numerical disadvantage for the majority of the match. Despite their eventual numerical parity, PSG were unable to find an equaliser.
In the 87th minute, PSG's Nuno Mendes also received a red card, leaving his team with just nine men. This development further secured Lens' victory. The match ended with Lens winning 1-0, making them the new holders of the French Super Cup.
The result also brought a notable statistic for PSG head coach Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach has rarely lost in finals throughout his career; this defeat marks only the 4th final loss of Enrique's career. The coach's remarkably high success rate in finals was once again highlighted within the football community.
