Endrick Inspires Lyon to 2-1 Win Over PSG, Shaking Ligue 1 Title Race
Olympique Lyonnais secured a key 2-1 away victory over Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, with Brazilian youngster Endrick delivering a match-winning performance.
Endrick scored once and provided an assist as Lyon stunned the reigning champions at the Parc des Princes, significantly impacting PSG’s push for another league title.
The 18-year-old forward opened the scoring early in the match before setting up Afonso Moreira for Lyon’s second goal, giving the visitors a strong first-half advantage.
PSG, managed by Luis Enrique, rested several key players following their Champions League commitments and struggled to find rhythm for much of the match.
Despite dominating possession at times, PSG missed a penalty in the first half and failed to convert several key chances. A late goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia provided only a consolation.
Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca praised Endrick’s overall performance, highlighting not just his attacking impact but also his defensive contribution throughout the match.
The result strengthens Lyon’s position in the Ligue 1 standings as they continue their push for European qualification, while PSG remain at the top but face increased pressure in the title race.
The defeat marks PSG’s fifth league loss of the season, adding tension ahead of their upcoming fixtures in both domestic and European competitions.
With several matches remaining, the Ligue 1 title race remains open, and Lyon’s victory has added fresh excitement to the closing stages of the season.
