Ten-man Lens denied Paris Saint-Germain a second trophy in five days as Florian Thauvin's first-half goal secured a 1-0 victory in the French Super Cup on Sunday.

Lens were worthy winners in their first match under new coach Dino Toppmoeller, adding to the French Cup title they won under previous manager Pierre Sage in May.

PSG, who beat Aston Villa on Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup, struggled to find their flow at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, despite their hosts having Kyllian Antonio sent off in the first half.

"I think we deserved more. But I have to congratulate Lens - they won, and they played very well, with their usual intensity. We played a very good match, but we didn't have the luck we needed," said PSG boss Luis Enrique.
