Lens 1-0 PSG: Florian Thauvin's header wins Trophee des Champions (full highlights)Lens stunned Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophee des Champions final at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, securing a dramatic 1-0 victory to claim their first trophy of the season and end PSG's eight-year dominance in the competition. The only goal of the match came in the 32nd minute when Mathieu Udol delivered a pinpoint cross from the right flank, and Florian Thauvin rose above the PSG defense to power a header past the helpless Gianluigi Donnarumma, sending the home fans into raptures. The match was a fiercely contested affair with the referee showing six yellow cards: Killian Antonio (39'), Desire Doue (64'), Nuno Mendes (86'), Fabian Ruiz (89'), Andrija Bulatovic (90') and Achraf Hakimi in stoppage time all received bookings for robust challenges and dissent. Lens managed just 9 shots to PSG's 14 and had only 38% possession, but they created 4 clear-cut chances compared to PSG's 3, showcasing their clinical efficiency in front of goal. After the final whistle, Lens manager Franck Haise, who had lost two previous Super Cup finals, was visibly emotional and described this victory as the most important of his career, praising his team for rewriting the club's history. Despite PSG's statistical dominance, they were unable to beat Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba, who made five crucial saves and was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance between the sticks. The full match highlights and all goals are available to watch, and this encounter served as a powerful reminder that football is not just about possession and shots, but about resilience, discipline, and seizing the moments that matter, something Lens demonstrated to perfection.
