Adjust font size:

French Ligue 1 champions Olympique Lyon beat Paris St Germain 1-0 after extra time to lift the French Cup on Saturday, completing their first league-cup double.

Lyon had to wait for the 102nd minute to see winger Govou collect a Karim Benzema cross and score with a powerful shot from inside the box.

This is Lyon's fourth French Cup, coming after wins in 1964, 1967 and 1973.

The match, on a rainy night on the outskirts of Paris, was a tense affair featuring seven yellow cards and few thrilling moves.
