  "account": "Lens achieved a historic milestone by winning the French Super Cup for the first time in their team's existence, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 on Sunday night. The championship victory came after Florian Thauvin, a French striker, scored the lone goal of the match in the 32nd minute. Thauvin's goal was scored from a rebound after teammate Matthieu Udol's shot was parried by Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.\n\nDespite being down to ten men, Lens maintained their composure during a pressing PSG attack. The match saw a significant setback for Lens when Kylian Antonio was shown a red card in the 37th minute for a dangerous challenge on PSG's Maghnes Akliouche. Further complications arose when a goal by Fabian Ruiz was disallowed for offside in the 76th minute.\n\nThe tension continued into the final quarter, with PSG's Nuno Mendes receiving a straight red card in the 87th minute for a reckless tackle. Just moments later, a second goal for PSG was disallowed due to a foul in the build-up. With these events, Lens claimed their first-ever French Super Cup title.",
