Lyon Cap First League/Cup Double On Overtime Tally

At Paris:

Sidney Govou scored the only goal of the match (102') to pace Lyon to a 1-0 Coupe de France final victory over PSG on Saturday to register their first ever domestic league and 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 to give them further cause for celebration a week after they sealed their seventh successive league title. PSG, chasing a double of their own after winning the French League Cup, had the better chances in the game at the Stade de France but failed to lift the trophy for the eighth time.

Lyon, who looked rusty and short of ideas until Govou gave them victory, had been waiting for a Cup triumph since winning the competition for the third time in 1973.

"We're ever so happy because it's been such a long season and we had waiting for this for years," Govou told reporters.

Lyon won their seventh straight Ligue 1 crown last week, while PSG, who earlier this year won the League Cup crown, barely avoided relegation again this season.

Sedan were by no means overawed against their top-flight hosts and fashioned some promising opportunities of their own, while Lyon found Sedan goalkeeper Patrick Régnault in inspired form until Juninho's set-piece rendered him helpless. Lyon's final appearance on 24 May at the Stade de France will be their first in this competition since a 2-0 loss to Olympique de Marseille in 1975/76, while Les Gones have not lifted the trophy since 1973.

Lyon will play against PSG for the title on May 24 in Paris. The relegation-threatened club from the capital city already won the League Cup and thus qualified for a shot at next season's UEFA Cup tournament.
