Lyon Win 1-2 at PSG on 0.70 xG — Obliterating PSG's 2.88 xG, 77% Possession and 23 Shots
Lyon arrived at Parc des Princes as 8.3 outsiders and left with all three points, scoring twice from just 5 shots and 0.70 xG while PSG generated 2.88 xG, controlled 77% possession, hit 23 shots and earned 13 corners — and got nothing.
