Hello; I need help with "lays" and "lies", PLEASE!!!

Here is the sentence I am trying to write:

In the sports section of the newspaper "lays/lies" an article about my son's football team on one page, and my niece's soccer team on the opposite page.

Thanks in advance for the help!

In the sports section of the newspaper lies an article about my son's football team on one page, and my niece's soccer team on the opposite page.

Yup, it's "lies".

Here's a bit more on lay and lie.
