PSG Extends Lead with Victory Amid Controversy

Paris Saint-Germain continued their unbeaten run, defeating Lyon 3-1 and increasing their lead in the French league to seven points. The match, however, was briefly halted due to homophobic chants. In other matches, Brest celebrated a resounding 4-1 victory against Nantes, while Nice drew 2-2 with Montpellier.

Paris Saint-Germain maintained their unbeaten streak with a 3-1 triumph over Lyon, propelling them seven points ahead at the summit of the French league. The routine win at Parc des Princes was overshadowed by homophobic chants, causing a temporary interruption in play.

PSG started strong, leading 2-0 within the first 14 minutes through goals from Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha, with the latter converting a penalty. Lyon's Georges Mikautadze reduced the deficit just before halftime, but PSG secured their victory with Gonzalo Ramos's agile finish in the 88th minute.

Second-place contenders Marseille and Monaco are tied on points, trailing behind PSG. Despite the victory, the match faced a brief halt at the 53rd minute due to inappropriate chants, prompting PSG captain Achraf Hakimi to address the fans, supported by a stadium announcement reminding of prohibited discriminatory chants.
