This time, theOL
is well launched. With hindsight, it took a slap against Marseille, at the end of a stunning and electric Olympico (2-3), to see Pierre Sage’s gang achieve their first major series. Funny paradox, at a time when OM is seriously stalling. This Sunday, the Lyonnais logically won against Nantes to sign a fourth success in a row in all competitions (2-0).
A victory which took shape quite quickly with the opening score of the Argentinian Tagliafico (1-0, 22nd). An own goal from Pallois then allowed Lyon to make the break in the second half (2-0, 54th). Seventh, OL are back at heights more in line with their standing. Nantes slips to ninth place.
Reims continues, Brest breathes
In the other matches of the day, Brest recovered well after its defeat at Auxerre (0-3). The Breton club capitalized on its superb performance in Salzburg (4-0) to achieve a saving victory against Le Havre (2-0). Ajorque (1-0, 10th) and Salah (2-0, 90th+3) were the scorers for the Breton club. Brest climbs to tenth place.
Great performance also for Stade de Reims, sensation team at the start of the season. The Champagne club won in a spectacular match against Montpellier (4-2). Munetsi (6th), Nakamura (25th), Diakité (57th) and Teuma from the penalty spot (90th+3) improved their statistics, despite a double from Nordin for the Hérault club (37th, 90th+1). Fourth, Reims confirms.
Finally, Strasbourg and Lens parted with a parity score after another shower of goals (2-2). The Sang et Or took the lead in this match, with goals from Nzola (5th) and Diouf (45th), but Sylla (18th) and Diarra (60th) allowed the Meinau residents to snatch a point precious. Lens remains sixth ahead of its host of the day.
