Six Paris FC shots produce a 0-0 draw with Lyon

Paris FC drew 0-0 with Lyon at Stade Jean Bouin, Isilemulino, in Ligue 1’s fourth regular-season round. Neither side found a winner, despite Paris FC recording four shots on goal and Lyon goalkeeper D. Greif making four saves.

Paris FC created more openings

Paris FC controlled 56% of possession and completed 535 accurate passes from 596 attempts, compared with Lyon’s 392 accurate passes from 456. The home side also edged total shots 6-5 and produced three shots inside the box, matching Lyon’s total. That territorial and passing advantage did not translate into a goal, as Lyon’s defence absorbed the pressure and Greif kept the score level.

Lyon had only one shot on goal, while Paris FC’s four efforts tested the visiting goalkeeper. The statistics therefore favoured Paris FC in possession, passing and attacking accuracy, but the final score reflected Lyon’s ability to deny a decisive finish. Paris FC won four corners to Lyon’s three, while Lyon earned more free kicks, 18 to 13.

Discipline shaped the closing stages

The match remained scoreless when Loïs Openda was booked for Lyon in the 63rd minute. Diego Coppola received Paris FC’s first yellow card six minutes later, and Hamari Traore was also cautioned in the 77th minute. There were no red cards, and the teams combined for 32 fouls, with Paris FC committing 19 and Lyon 13.

The substitutions arrived mainly during the final 15 minutes. Lyon replaced Openda with Keito Nakamura in the 75th minute, while Paris FC introduced Moses Simon and Rudy Matondo for Pablo Pagis and Luca Koleosho in the 79th. Paris FC later brought on Jonathan Ikoné, and Lyon added Tanner Tessmann and Kail Boudache in the 87th minute. None of the changes broke the deadlock.

Greif the standout performer

Greif was the highest-rated player on either side, earning an 8.3 rating after completing the full 90 minutes and making four saves. His contribution was central to Lyon taking a point despite Paris FC’s greater share of the ball and superior shots-on-target count. M. Lopez led Paris FC’s ratings at 7.2 after 90 minutes, with one shot on target and one tackle.

Both teams remain unbeaten

Paris FC and Lyon entered the fixture with seven points from three matches and identical records of two wins, one draw and no defeats. Paris FC was ranked third and Lyon fourth. The draw gives both clubs eight points after four games, preserves their unbeaten starts and extends Paris FC’s recent sequence of draw, win, win and Lyon’s win, draw, win. The supplied standings do not establish their updated positions after the round.
