OL exits the Coupe de France through the back door. Opposed to Bourgoin-Jallieu this Wednesday in 16e of the final, Pierre Sage’s men lost at the end of the penalty shootout (2-2, 4 tab 2). Bold and determined in the game, the residents of National 3 did not steal their qualification.
Well into their match, the Berjalliens almost logically opened the scoring through their number 9, Mehdi Moujetzky (20e). But Matic’s equalizing goal just before the break (45e) came to annihilate all the efforts of the locals.
Lacazette and Tolisso miss their shot on goal
In difficulty in defense and in intensity, the Lyonnais nevertheless managed to take the advantage thanks to an achievement from Georges Mikautadze (64e), well served by Rayan Cherki. Nothing to dampen the ardor of Bourgoin, who equalized almost immediately on a new goal from Moujetzky (69e).
Les Gones pushed at the end of the match to win, creating a few big chances, in vain. It was ultimately on penalties that the game was decided. The Berjallian goalkeeper, Ronan Jay, then pulled out all the stops by stopping Lyon’s first two attempts, from Lacazette and Tolisso, thus taking his team into 8e final of the Coupe de France. A hell of a feat!
