Paris FC’s afternoon began on a tense note as Mamadou Mbow received a yellow card as early as the 10th minute. The hosts adjusted at the break with a double substitution, introducing Rudy Matondo and Alimami Gory for Maxime López and Marshall Munetsi in an attempt to inject fresh energy into their attack.

Lille, meanwhile, managed the game with controlled aggression. Ayyoub Bouaddi was booked in the 49th minute, followed by captain Benjamin André seeing yellow in the 63rd. The visitors refreshed their front line late on, bringing on Ethan Mbappé in the 78th minute and later Olivier Giroud and Gaëtan Perrin in the 83rd to help see out the result.

Paris FC’s frustration grew in the closing stages. Jonathan Ikoné was cautioned in the 72nd minute, and Pierre Lees Melou received a yellow card in the 85th minute before immediately being sent off with a second booking, leaving the hosts to finish with ten men. Ilan Kebbal and Alimami Gory were also booked in stoppage time, alongside Lille’s Nathan Ngoy.
