Ghanaian winger Ernest Nuamah narrowly missed out on securing his first trophy with Olympique Lyon following a 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France (French Cup) Final.

PSG took an early lead with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz in the first half. Lyon’s Jake O’Brien managed to score a consolation goal in the 55th minute.

Nuamah entered the match in the 67th minute, replacing fellow young talent Rayan Cherki. This appearance marked his third in the French Cup. During his time on the pitch, the 20-year-old former FC Nordsjaelland player had 10 touches, completed all three of his passes, but won only two of seven ground duels and was dribbled past four times.

PSG’s victory also marked the end of Kylian Mbappe’s tenure at the club, as he announced his departure at the end of the season.

In his debut season with Lyon, Nuamah played 29 matches in the French Ligue 1, scoring three goals and providing two assists. He also made his debut with Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team, the Black Stars, during the 2023-2024 campaign and participated in the 2023 AFCON.
