There was no need to arrive late this Sunday, early in the evening, at Groupama Stadium.
This Sunday evening, Olympique Lyonnais welcomes AS Monaco for the 31st day of Ligue 1. For this sold-out match, Rhone supporters lit torches all around the Groupama Stadium pitch.
A nice welcome for Pierre Sage’s men, who are aiming for seventh place, which could qualify for the Europa Conference League in the event of PSG’s victory in the Coupe de France final. The start of the match was even delayed by a few minutes due to these fireworks.
Ben Yedder sparks
Unfortunately for the Gones, their enthusiasm would very quickly be dampened. After only 22 seconds of play, Wissam Ben Yedder opened the scoring, with his right foot from close range, into the empty goal. If the former Sevilla FC player initially believed that his achievement was invalidated for offside, this was not the case.
The native of Sarcelles had not scored in nine matches. This is his fifteenth goal this season in thirty matches, in all competitions. Note that OL then recovered well, scoring two goals, through Lacazette (22nd) and Benrahma.
