In the long marathon of a season, there are weeks that feel like a turning point. After a memorable slap in the Olympico against Marseille, eleven against ten, Sunday evening (2-3), theOlympique Lyonnais resumed its march forward by signing two precious victories.
Everything is not perfect, far from it, but these successes against Olympiakos (2-0) and Toulouse (2-1) give a little balm to the heart of this still fragile group. This Sunday, however, everything started badly when Téfécé opened the scoring quickly thanks to Gboho (1-0, 14th). It took an own goal from Nicolaisen after half an hour to put OL back on track (1-1, 28th). And after a very contested second act, the Gones, who scared themselves, were liberated by the young Fofana, opportunistic after a shot from Cherki released by Restes (1-2, 90th+5). A happy scenario for Lyon.
Saint-Etienne snatches a point from Nantes
In the other matches this Sunday, a little later in the day, AS Saint-Etienne was able to give an encouraging response after the 8-0 slap received in Nice last week. In an open and pleasant match, Nantes led 2-0 thanks to goals from Lepenant (1-0, 10th) and Thomas (2-0, 49th), but a double from Sissoko in ten minutes (2-1, 57th; 2-2, 67th) allowed the Greens to resurface. The promoted Saint-Etienne remains 17th. Nantes is standing still in 7th place.
Finally, the red lantern, Angers, conceded a new setback, this time against Reims (1-3). Nakamura (0-1, 9th), Ito (0-2, 25th) and Munetsi (0-3, 79th) found the net for the Champagne club, who spent a quiet afternoon at the Stade Raymond-Kopa . Ferhat’s late score reduction (1-3, 84th) was too late for the SCO.
