Fact check
“Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal of the game in the second half.”
Reasoning
Official match statistics, the league’s match report, a BBC match report, and video highlights all state that Mbappé scored in the 58th minute—the only goal of the PSG vs Lyon game—confirming it was in the second half. The lone opposing claim comes from a dubious site and lacks credibility.
On confidence: Multiple primary sources and reputable independent reporting consistently confirm the claim, while the sole contradictory source is low‑credibility and unsubstantiated.
Important context
The goal occurred at 58 minutes, which is in the second half, and it was the sole goal, resulting in a 1‑0 victory for PSG over Lyon.
