Recharged by a victory in Rennes before the international break, Lyon fell again this Sunday, surprised at home by Losc (0-2), at the end of the 13th round of Ligue 1.
The success at Roazhon Park a fortnight ago, against Rennais who were quickly reduced to ten, was just an illusion. This Sunday to close the 13e day of L1, OL hosted Lille full of good intentions and steeped in ambition. In vain. The Dogues barely forced themselves to lay down the law at Groupama Stadium (0-2).
As a symbol, the first executioner of the Lyonnais was the Canadian Jonathan David, who had not found fault in the championship for three months (0-1, 27e). Tiago Santos was quick to break in the process – not without taking advantage of the defensive apathy of the Rhodaniens (0-2, 32e) – under the disappointed, even disillusioned, gaze of Fabio Grosso.
Lacazette, things are not getting better
Starting for the occasion, Alexandre Lacazette was recalled to the bench at half-time and did not hide his frustration – a sign that nothing is going well this season in Lyon. Launched during the break, Rayan Cherki was no more successful than his elder. Neither does the clumsy Mama Baldé, who nevertheless created two clear opportunities in front of Lucas Chevalier.

With just seven points on the clock, OL remain last in the elite, five lengths from the waterline which – fortunately for Les Gones – did not move away this weekend. The Mastiffs, on the other hand, are progressing quickly and well, getting back on the podium, one length behind the third Monegasque.
