Lyon got the better of Montpellier this Sunday for the 21st day of L1 (1-2).
Reassured by its success against OM last week, OL were able to continue in Montpellier this Sunday as part of the 21e lifting of Ligue 1. A stunning victory signed with a score of 1-2, so important in the perspective of maintaining.
Stifled at the start of the match and cornered on their goal, the Lyonnais nevertheless quickly took the lead in this part, on a header from Nordin at close range (1-0, 23e). But by missing their break opportunities – against an inspired Lopes in particular – the Montpellier residents exposed themselves.
Montpellier threatened
Approaching the final quarter of an hour, Lacazette set the record straight solo and from a tight angle (1-1, 74e). A hard blow for the stunned Pailladins who immediately conceded a second goal – spectacular work by Caqueret at the edge of the area (1-2, 82e). The realization of victory for Gones went from anguish to total euphoria.
In this real six-point match between two teams fighting for survival, OL carried out a great operation today, under threat at kick-off of a new plunge into the red zone and finally now credited with a lead of three lengths over the first relegation and his opponent of the evening. An MHSC rushed to the waterline, barely.
