Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain scores a stoppage-time winner and beats Lyon 3-2

In the early morning of November 10, 2025 (Monday), in the 12th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Lyon away from home, and staged an ups and downs showdown at the Groupama Stadium. With Joao Neves' header in the 95th minute, Paris won a thrilling 3-2.

At the beginning of the game, Paris quickly took the initiative. In the 26th minute, Vitinha sent a precise long pass, and Warren Zaire Emery scored decisively with a volley from a small angle, opening the scoring for the visiting team.

However, the lead did not last long. Only 5 minutes later, Lyon equalized the score through a smooth cooperation: Moussa Niakat sent a through ball, Alfonso Moreira stepped in at high speed and calmly pushed the ball successfully, rewriting the score to 1-1.

But Paris soon took the lead again. In the 35th minute, Vitinha actively fought to steal the ball from his opponent in the frontcourt, and then passed it to Hviča Kvaratskhelia. The latter hit a tricky long shot from outside the penalty area and hit the dead center, helping Paris lead 2-1 again.

After changing sides and fighting again, Lyon, who had one less day of rest, became more aggressive. In the 48th minute, Maitland-Niles caught Paris goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier's mistake and made a light shot to level the score at 2-2 again. After that, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, with frequent transitions between offense and defense, but the final kick was often inaccurate and the situation was stalemate.

The game seemed to be ending in a draw, but the turning point came suddenly in stoppage time-in the 90th+1 minute, Lyon left-back Nicolas Tagliafico was sent off with two yellow cards, and the home team was forced to fight with 10 men.

Paris immediately seized the numerical advantage and launched a fierce attack. In the 95th minute, Li Gangren took a precise corner kick, and Joao Neves, who had just come on as a substitute, jumped high and scored with a header, completing the winning goal! The score was settled at 3-2.

After this battle, Paris Saint-Germain overtook Marseille with a 2-point advantage and led the French Ligue 1 standings alone. This hard-won victory not only demonstrated the team's resilience, but also provided valuable confidence for Enrique's tactical adjustments.
