Joao Neves' Injury-Time Goal Secures PSG's Dramatic 3-2 Comeback Win Over Lyon

In a thrilling Ligue 1 clash at Parc OL on November 9, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain narrowly defeated Olympique Lyonnais 3-2, reclaiming the top spot in the championship. Joao Neves emerged as the hero, scoring the decisive goal deep into injury time at the 90+5 minute mark, clinching PSG's eighth win of the season and halting Lyon's fightback.

PSG initially surged ahead with early goals from Warren Zaïrre-Emery in the 26th minute and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia shortly after in the 32nd minute. Lyon responded quickly, however, with Afonso Moreira equalizing in the 30th minute and Ainsley Maitland-Niles pulling level again just after halftime in the 50th minute. The match remained intense with both teams creating numerous scoring chances, but it was Neves' late strike that sealed the victory for PSG.

This triumph returned PSG to the summit of Ligue 1 standings, moving them ahead of Olympique de Marseille, who had reclaimed the lead briefly following their 3-0 win over Brest the previous day. Lyon’s defeat left them in seventh place. According to sources, the win was a critical moment as PSG consolidated their position, closely followed by Lens and Marseille in the league race.

The victory contributed to PSG maintaining their dominant form in the league, while Lyon’s spirited performance underscored the competitive nature of this season’s Ligue 1. As the teams look ahead, PSG will aim to build on this momentum to stay atop the table.
