1' CHANCE! Mbappe's shot saved
Mbappe wastes the chance to open the scoring for PSG inside the opening minute.
A punt over the top from Di Maria is not dealt with and the speedy striker bursts clean through on goal, but the shot is pretty poor and Lopes makes the save.
7' GOAL! Lyon 0-1 PSG (Di Maria)
PSG open the scoring at the Groupama Stadium through Di Maria's fifth league goal of the season.
Draxler takes the ball off Aouar and springs a four-on-three counter, slipping the ball to his left for Di Maria to pick his spot past Lopes.
18' SAVE! Fine stop from Areola
Depay skips past two opposition players to create some space out on the left and his cutback is met by Traore, whose low shot is well saved by the feet of Areola.
24' A fine double-save from Areola!
Brought back into the starting line-up today, Areola is having a stormer to keep his side's slender lead intact.
Traore's curling effort is kept out and the France keeper then reacts to palm away the follow-up effort from Depay.
33' GOAL! Lyon 1-1 PSG (Dembele)
Areola has been phenomenal in the first 32 minutes of the match, but this has to go down as an error on his behalf.
Dubois' cross from the right is a simple one to gather, but Areola loses his footing and Dembele gets to the ball first to power home a header from a few yards out.
43' OFF THE LINE! Di Maria's shot blocked
PSG put together their first serious attack in what feels like an eternity, culminating in Mbappe picking out Bernat, who in turn tees up Di Maria.
The Argentina midfielder's shot beats Lopes but Denayer somehow gets his head to it on the line.
49' Penalty Goal! Lyon 2-1 PSG (Fekir)
Dembele wins his side a penalty early in the second half! The France striker takes the ball past Silva and his wrong-footed opponent illegally halts his run. There can be no complaints there.
Fekir watches Areola dive towards his left and he tucks the ball the opposite way. Lyon lead PSG and it is no more than they deserve.
52' Lopes denies Mbappe
Mbappe sets himself up for the shot with a brilliant first touch and looks certain to score when the ball travels towards the corner of the net, but Lopes gets a hand to it to keep his side in front. We are seeing goalkeeping of the highest order today.
61' OFF THE POST! Alves almost scores
Alves gets in a powerful shot which Mendy blocks behind for a corner - that may well have been flying in. Lyon are putting their bodies on the line, desperate to keep hold of their lead.
Match Report
Paris Saint-Germain's unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season is over after the league leaders suffered a 2-1 defeat to Lyon on Sunday.
The defending champions, who were without star man Neymar due to injury, had won 18 games and drawn two prior to their visit to the Groupama Stadium, but they were handed their first loss thanks to goals from Moussa Dembele and Nabil Fekir.
When Angel Di Maria opened the scoring early it looked like a familiar story, however Lyon were writing their own script and dominated the opening period.
They got their reward through Dembele just after the half hour, and Fekir's penalty secured the three points – Lyon defending resolutely to cling on to a memorable victory.
