It’s been seven days since OL, who lost the lead in the Europa League, have not lost in the championship. However, the series of invincibility thus extended this Saturday evening has a bitter taste for the Gones held in check on the lawn of Auguste-Delaune.
Thanks to an untenable Cherki in the first period, the Rhodanians opened the scoring to make life easier (0-1, 38e). Only as too often this season, Pierre Sage’s men held out the stick only to be beaten after returning from the locker room, thus punished by an opportunist Diakité (1-1, 55e).
Sharing the points at the finish does not suit either team, who could each have claimed a penalty – in money time. At this time, Lyonnais and Rémois are fifth and sixth in Ligue 1, four and five lengths from the podium and an OM who a little earlier in the evening won against Lens (1-3).
