When it doesn’t work… The MHSC, in great difficulty this season, produced the match it needed this Saturday in Lyon, as part of the 16e lifting of Ligue 1. Without collecting the slightest point. The fault lies in a goal conceded in the last moments of the game – an own goal at that…
Two weeks after the Puy-en-Velay fiasco and the humiliating elimination of the Pailladins at the Stade des 32e final of the Coupe de France (4-0), Jean-Louis Gasset’s men were able to show character at Groupama Stadium, but success eluded them – like this shot from Ferri sent onto the crossbar – and the Clumsiness played tricks on them – like this quick shot from Fayad alone in the area against Perri…
Podium in sight for Lyon
A scenario all the more cruel as the same Fayad, a young 20-year-old talent from Hérault, ended up striking against his side in added time (1-0, 90e+2), under pressure from Tolisso. With two small points collected over the last five days, the MHSC is still bringing up the rear of the elite, now six points behind Nantes and the first lifeboat.
At the opposite end of the rankings, OL, for their part, regained fifth place in Nice, losing Rennes the day before (3-2). At the height of a fourth-placed Losc and held in check by Nantes earlier in the evening (1-1). Two lengths behind Monaco and OM who will try to widen the gap on Sunday by hosting Le Havre at the Vélodrome.
