PSG cruise to Super Cup win over Lyon

Early goals from Serge Aurier and Edinson Cavani were enough for Paris Saint-Germain to lift the Trophee des Champions by beating Lyon in Montreal.

Les Parisiens were ahead inside 11 minutes at the Stade Saputo when a David Luiz cross-cum-shot rebounded off the head of Aurier before hitting the back of the net.

OL fell further behind when Aurier crossed for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Swede's shot was only parried by Anthony Lopes before Cavani struck home the rebound.

Blaise Matuidi almost scored a third on the stroke of half time after a back-heeled volley from Ibrahimovic was saved by Lopes before the French international fired over from close range.

Lyon's day got worse when Maxime Gonalons was shown a red card for a stamp on Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish forward almost scored in stoppage time with a curling effort, but PSG comfortably sealed a third consecutive Trophee des Champions.
