Donnum attempted a daring long-range effort in the eleventh minute, but the ball just missed PSG’s goalpost by a hair. Barcola and Lee Kang In performed a nice combination play in the 31st minute, but goalie Restes made a great save to block the chance.

If Toulouse had been more fortunate, they would have tied the score in the 37th minute. Dallinga, the striker, attempted a long-range shot, but a PSG defender blocked it. But he kept making a cunning run to get the ball from Donnum and get to the finish line fast. Goalie Donnarumma, though, was still able to stop the ball with his hand, hitting the post before exiting.

Toulouse paid the price in the 44th minute when they gave up again because they were too busy trying to find an equalizer. Mbappe Kylian dribbles. After the ball passed between three opponent defenders, goalie Restes was faced with a shot that was ultimately successful.

PSG had good game management in the second half thanks to a two-goal lead. The group led by Luis Enrique played proactive defense and bided their time to launch a counterattack. At the start of 2024, PSG won the French Super Cup for a record 12 times, but no more goals were scored as they concluded the game with a 2-0 final triumph.
