Lyon created the first clear opportunity in the fifth minute when Selma Bacha delivered a corner to the far post, where Vicki Becho volleyed goalward only for the effort to be cleared off the line. The deadlock was broken in the 23rd minute through Melchie Dumornay, who produced an impressive solo run, overpowering and dribbling past several defenders before finishing low past Mary Earps.
Lyon grew in confidence after taking the lead and doubled their advantage in the 35th minute. A flowing move involving Lindsey Heaps and Jule Brand ended with Brand crossing for Becho, whose looping header struck the crossbar before bouncing over the line. Becho scored again five minutes later, meeting another Brand delivery with an outside-of-the-foot volley that flew into the top corner. PSG responded before the interval as Tara Elimbi Gilbert forced a save from Christiane Endler, before Élisa De Almeida headed against the crossbar.
The second half was initially fragmented by fouls and substitutions before substitute Merveille Kanjinga pulled a goal back in the 63rd minute with a powerful volley from a cross by Olga Carmona. PSG nearly reduced the deficit further moments later when substitute Isabela headed narrowly wide from a corner. Lyon, however, restored control in the 74th minute as Heaps converted a long free-kick from Bacha with a first-time volley to make it 4–1. PSG continued to search for another goal, but Endler denied Marie-Estella Lafontaine in a one-on-one chance, allowing Lyon to comfortably see out the remainder of the match and secure the title.
