Lens secured their first Trophee des Champions title, defeating Paris St Germain 1-0 in a dramatic encounter at the Bollaert-Delelis Stadium. This historic victory comes 28 years after Lens's last appearance in the French season-opener. The hosts took the lead through Florian Thauvin, who tapped in a shot from Matthieu Udol. However, Lens was reduced to ten men when teenager Kyllian Antonio received a red card for a challenge on Maghnes Akliouche. Despite being a man down, Lens held their advantage. French champion PSG, fresh from lifting the UEFA Super Cup, had a goal disallowed for offside by Fabian Ruiz. The match saw further drama as PSG also finished with ten men after Nuno Mendes was sent off for an elbow on Michal Skoras, sealing a memorable triumph for Lens.
