OL Lyonnes Clinch 11th Coupe de France Title with Resounding 4-1 Win Over PSG

On May 10, 2026, OL Lyonnes showcased their dominance in French women's football by defeating Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 in the Coupe de France final held at Stade du Hainaut in Valenciennes. This victory marks Lyon's 11th Coupe de France title, ending a two-year trophy drought since their last win in 2024.

The match saw an early spark from Lyon with Melchie Dumornay opening the scoring in the 23rd minute after demonstrating impressive skill and benefiting from favorable bounces against PSG. Vicki Becho further extended the lead by scoring twice before halftime — first with a header from a cross delivered by Brand in the 34th minute, followed by a precise shot from outside the box just before the break, bringing the score to 3-0.

PSG managed to respond in the second half through Merveille Kanjinga's goal in the 62nd minute, giving their fans some hope. However, Lyon quickly responded as Lindsey Heaps scored in the 75th minute to restore their three-goal advantage and seal a convincing win.

This Coupe de France victory is Lyon's fourth over PSG this 2025-2026 season, following wins in the Arkema Première Ligue and the Coupe de la Ligue final. Notably, PSG has not beaten Lyon since December 2022, having suffered 13 defeats and one draw since then.

The triumph also fuels OL Lyonnes' aspiration for a historic quadruple this season. Alongside their Coupe de France title, Lyon has secured a place in the Arkema Première playoffs semifinals and will face FC Barcelona in the upcoming Champions League final. Under the guidance of coach Jonatan Giráldez, Lyon is positioned to potentially become the first French women's club to win four major trophies in a single season.

With these impressive performances, OL Lyonnes have solidified their status as the premier force in French women's football, displaying skill, tactical superiority, and consistency across competitions this season.
