PSG, who had won the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa days earlier, dominated possession but struggled to create clear chances. Lens goalkeeper Robin Risser made comfortable saves from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and later from Ousmane Dembele. PSG's Nuno Mendes was also sent off late for elbowing Michal Skoras.

The match marked the first game for Lens under new coach Dino Toppmoeller, adding to the club's French Cup win in May. PSG next begin their Ligue 1 title defence at home against Rennes in a week's time.
