Paris Saint-Germain defeats Lyon 2-0 to reclaim the top spot in Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory against Lyon in the closing match of the 8th round of Ligue 1 on October 26, 2026. After a tightly contested first half, the match turned in favor of Luis Enrique's side during the second period. Senny Mayulu opened the scoring in the 72nd minute following an assist from Honts, and Honts secured the final result in the 84th minute with a clinical finish after receiving a pass from Djandou.

The victory was dedicated to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury during the midweek UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona. The win allowed Paris to return to the top of the league standings. Other results from the 8th round included Brest’s 1-2 loss to Nice, Lens’s 2-1 win against Paris FC, and a 1-1 draw between Monaco and Lille.
