Paris Saint-Germain snatched a thrilling 3–2 victory over Lyon thanks to a stoppage-time goal from João Neves in the 95th minute. Despite being plagued by injuries to several key players and struggling to create chances, the Parisians made the most of their final corner kick — even while playing with ten men after Nicolás Tagliafico was sent off.

The first half saw both sides exchange goals following defensive lapses, setting the tone for an open and unpredictable contest. Lyon dominated much of the second half and deservedly equalised through a well-placed header from Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the 50th minute.

Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi completed the full match for PSG, putting in a composed performance at the back. But it was João Neves who stole the spotlight — his decisive strike in added time not only secured all three points but also propelled Paris Saint-Germain to the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
