The match started with a one-sided game as the French capital team controlled the ball overwhelmingly. The attack line with Ramos, Kvaratskhelia and Zaire-Emery continuously challenged the away team's goalkeeper Leon. Auxerre was forced to drop deep to defend and had almost no chance to counterattack.
In the 32nd minute, after a precise pass from Vitinha, rookie Zabarnyi rushed down to finish from a tight angle, opening the score for PSG. This was also the Ukrainian center back's first goal in his new shirt.
In the second half, the pressure continued to increase. In the 54th minute, from a corner kick, the ball was passed by Mayulu for Beraldo to jump high and head the ball to double the gap. With a 2-goal advantage, coach Luis Enrique gave opportunities to many young players such as Ndjantou and Jangeal. However, PSG still controlled the game and maintained a 2-0 victory until the end of the match.
This result helped PSG win Ligue 1 for the 5th consecutive match this season, thereby continuing to lead the Ligue 1 2025-2026 rankings with 15 points after 6 rounds.
This victory also gave PSG a smooth start ahead of their away trip to Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek.
