Even if they avoided the worst by coming back to score, the Lyonnais delivered another very mediocre performance and cannot be satisfied with this result against FC Metz (1-1).
Let’s start with the least negative. Olympique Lyonnais avoided a new disaster by not losing this Sunday noon against FC Metz (1-1), while Les Gones had conceded the opening score just under a quarter of an hour away. of the end.
For the rest, it is difficult not to remember this still very insufficient performance from Fabio Grosso’s men. A week after this match which did not take place in Marseille, the Italian coach again bet on this very defensive 5-3-2, which seems very prudent for a home match against another candidate for the club.
OL still without a victory
As a result, the chances were rare even if Mama Baldé came up against Alexandre Oukidja in the first minute, in a head-to-head match. In the second half, Alexandre Lacazette had a huge opportunity, but he hit Guillaume Diestch, the second Lorraine goalkeeper, who entered the game. And so it was the promoted Messin who opened the scoring with a beautiful strike from Ablie Jallow (0-1, 77th), who deceived Anthony Lopes.
Grosso had however launched Rayan Cherki and Ernest Nuamah (58th), but it was one of the young players of this Lyon team who saved the furniture, Skelly Alvero, by scoring in turn with a strike from the entrance of the surface (1-1, 84th).
On arrival, OL remain last in Ligue 1 with four small points taken in 10 games, still no victory, and six points behind the play-off team. And it is maintenance that will be the sole objective of John Textor’s club, no offense to the American owner…
