The early goal came from the Argentine forward, whose effortless one-two pass with Neymar threaded the defense like a hot knife through butter.Lionel Messi wasted no time in taking his shot at goal. He drove the ball into the bottom corner on the first touch to beat goalkeeper Anthony Lopes' outstretched arms and put the game in PSG's favor.The Argentine playmaker notably had a number of chances to score, many of which were almost certain goals. But the Lyon goalkeeper had a man-of-the-match performance to prevent them.The lone goal will have to suffice for the Parisians, who will be pleased with their current position at the top of the domestic table in France. While Lyon also had notable opportunities that might have leveled the scoreline, they were unable to make it count, missing what would have been a good result for them.
