Paris Saint Germain did not start in the best way possible against Lyon. That said, despite conceding in the 11th minute, Kylian Mbappe responded for the Parisians three minutes later. Kurzawa was key in both goals.

Lyon struck first in the French Cup semi-final clash against PSG. And they did so thanks to an error by Kurzawa as they were playing the ball out and that led to Lyon making it 1-0. 

The defender lost the ball a few metres from the edge of the box when they were trying to begin an attack of theirs. Rudi Garcia's men gladly accepted the gift and they took the lead. 

Terrier, in the 11th minute, tapped in a cross from the right by Toko Ekambi. The home crowd erupted, but their lead did not even last three minutes.

Mbappe and Kurzawa himself appeared in the 14th minute to restore parity. Kurzawa flicked on a corner and Mbappe turned the ball in at the back post to make it 1-1.
