Insert these tags into the first lines of the PGN after [Event], [Site], and [Date]:
[White "(insert player White name here)"]
[Black "(insert player Black name here)"]

And, if either player has a title (NM, FIDE, or LM), insert:
[WhiteTitle "insert_Title"]
[BlackTitle "insert_Title"]
before the move order.

[Result "1-0"] if White won,
[Result "0-1"] if Black won,
and [Result "1/2-1/2"] for a draw

Insert one of those tags the line after you put the [Black "(insert player Black name here)"] tag.

Here is a sample of the PGN files Lichess generates:

[Event "Rated Blitz game"] *
[Site "https://lichess.org/gamecode"] *
[Date "2021.08.02"] *
[White "White"] *
[Black "Black"] *
[Result "0-1"] *
[UTCDate "2021.08.02"] *
[UTCTime "23:59:59"] *
[WhiteElo "1500"] *
[BlackElo "1500"] *
[WhiteRatingDiff "-163"] *
[BlackRatingDiff "+162"] *
[Variant "Standard"] *
[TimeControl "180+0"] *
[ECO "C42"] *
[Opening "Russian Game: Stafford Gambit"] *
[Termination "Normal"] *

  1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. d3 Bc5 6. Bg5 Nxe4 7. Bxd8 Bxf2+ 8. Ke2 Bg4# 0-1

Note that the file would not be invalid without any of the lines marked with an asterisk, but it is good to include them for convenience.
