OL lost on the lawn of Strasbourg this Sunday evening at the end of the first day of Ligue 1 (2-1).
The Lyonnais have everything against them these days. In the crosshairs of the authorities of French football, hampered in their desire for summer reinforcements, undermined by the injuries of Lopes and Lovren at the start of the season, here they are off to a bad start in the championship, defeated this Sunday evening at La Meinau, at the end of the first act of the season, by a Strasbourg who saw there the first official on the bench of Patrick Vieira.
With an attractive attacking trio made up of Lacazette, Barcola and Cherki, the Gones nevertheless had the ammunition to hurt their hosts. Only Sels perfectly watched over the grain in the Alsatian cage, certainly with the help of a post in his duel won against the Rhone “General” (41e). And OL overall sinned by clumsiness in the last gesture throughout the game.

Tagliafico found the flaw at the end of the game (88e), but the damage was already done for Laurent Blanc’s men. Best Strasbourg player of the day, Bellegarde had opened the scoring with an eccentric free kick fired in force and poorly read by Riou (63e). Mothiba had secured the break in stride on an offering from the same untenable Bellegarde (75e). In the end, it is therefore a false start for Lyon, which will try to catch up at home in six days against Montpellier. The RCSA for its part now has an appointment in the Principality.
