Unable to beat Metz on Sunday at home (1-1), Olympique Lyonnais remains last in Ligue 1 and can only aim to maintain their position for the moment.
Tagged fear match, seen on ranking of the two teams, this OL-Metz did not stiffen the muscles of the players on the pitch at Groupama Stadium. If the Gones and the Lorraines showed desire and combativeness, they also multiplied the failing gestures.
Technical waste, repeated losses of balls restricted the scoring opportunities worthy of the name even if Baldé had started the game well by stumbling on Oukidja in the first minute. The Metz goalkeeper, injured prematurely, gave way to Dietz (18th).

The understudy of the 2019 African champion distinguished himself by repelling a powerful attempt from Lacazette, less than two meters from the line (51st), unlike his counterpart Lopes 25 minutes later.
The Portuguese international was too short to correctly judge Jallow’s shot, the ball skittering off the right post before icing up the Groupama Stadium (0-1, 77th). And if the big Alvero (2.02m) saved OL from complete drowning, the crisis may have set in.

Powerless against the sixteenth in Ligue 1, Fabio Grosso’s players remain last after eleven days of the Championship, without a victory and a late match to be played on December 6 in Marseille.
Maintenance objective for OL? It was hard to consider anything else at the moment.
