  "account": "Lens stunned Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 victory in the Trophée des Champions, clinching their inaugural silverware of the new domestic season despite fielding 10 men for much of the match. The French hosts began strongly, controlling the ball and dictating the tempo. However, Lens gradually gained momentum and scored against the run of play in the 32nd minute. Striker Florian Thauvin converted Matthieu Udol's precise delivery, finding the back of the net at the far post. The advantage was short-lived as Lens' Kyllian Antonio was dismissed for a dangerous challenge on Maghnes Akliouche just six minutes before halftime. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Lens maintained their composure. PSG almost capitalized immediately but saw Désiré Doué's effort ricochet off the crossbar. Ousmane Dembélé and Nuno Mendes both went close to equalizing during the second half as Lens held firm. The Parisians' late hope of leveling suffered another setback when Mendes received a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident involving Michal Skoras towards the end of the match. Lens held on to secure a remarkable win under new manager Dino Toppmöller. For PSG, the focus now shifts to Ligue 1, where they will aim to turn their focus to Ligue 1 next weekend, where they will look to bounce back against Rennes.",
