Paris Saint-Germain 2 Lyon 0: Aurier and Cavani seal more silverware

Paris Saint-Germain lifted their fourth piece of silverware in as many months by claiming the Trophee des Champions with a 2-0 victory over 10-man Lyon.

Laurent Blanc's side clinched the domestic treble in 2014-15, winning Ligue 1, Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France to further assert their dominance in the French game.

And Saturday's triumph at the Stade Saputo in Montreal means PSG have now won the traditional season opener in each of the last three years.

Any faint Lyon hopes of a comeback were effectively ended when captain Maxime Gonalons was sent off midway through the second half for two bookable offences.

Lyon finished eight points behind the champions back in May, and they struggled to live with Blanc's men, who went two up in the opening exchanges.

Six minutes later the lead was doubled as Zlatan Ibrahimovic's initial effort was saved by Anthony Lopes, only for Cavani to hammer in the rebound.
