First-half goals fire PSG to Coupe de France final win over Lyon and domestic treble

Paris Saint-Germain saw off Olympique Lyonnais to earn a 2-1 victory and win the Coupe de France for a record-extending 15th time - notching a seventh triumph in their eight finals in the competition.

Both clubs had already enjoyed celebrations leading up to this final, as PSG wrapped up the Ligue 1 title in April and Lyon completed a sensational turnaround to secure UEFA Europa League football for next season.

There were immediate signs of the confidence that brings, with a blistering start seeing Lucas Beraldo head agonisingly wide and a dinked Bradley Barcola shot saved, while Said Benrahma’s attempt between those grazed the roof of Gianluigi Donnarumma’s net.

There was unrelenting pressure from the two teams until the breakthrough in the 22nd minute when Lucas Perri completely misjudged Nuno Mendes’ cross and Ousmane Dembele was left to head into the vacant net for his first-ever Coupe de France goal.

Les Parisiens scored a second 12 minutes later, with Dembele doing well to collect Barcola’s cross and pick out Fabian Ruiz, who converted at the second attempt after Jake O’Brien had blocked his initial shot.
