OL revives victory. For the reception of Angers, Samuel Umtiti gave the symbolic start of the 5th day of Ligue 1, he who has just put an end to his career. The Gones, still in shock from their frustrating defeat in Rennes, started the meeting with the objective of reconnecting with the victory against the SCO.
Despite the first minutes led by Angers, Lyon gradually imposed his possession without really creating danger. It was not until the 22nd minute to see what could have been the first goal: on a free kick from Karabec taken over by Tagliafico, the Rhodanians thought they were opening the scoring, but the referee refused for a hand of Niakhaté.
OL kept control of the ball the rest of the first period, but its domination was sterile. The fault of a solid angevin block and a lack of depth on the Lyon side. During the first 45 minutes, contacts multiplied, and Fofana, often launched on the sides, was regularly targeted.
Tessmann revives OL
In the second period, Lyon intensified its offensives. In the 51st, Tolisso tested Koffi on a powerful strike, and the situations have succeeded. The deliverance finally reached the 65th minute: on a sulc corner, Satriano obliges Koffi to intervene, but Tessmann follows and pushes the ball to the bottom of the nets, offering the advantage to the Rhodanians.
OL remained pressing and was close to the station wagon at the end of the match. Maitland-Niles borders on 2-0 at 80th, while Fofana loses a face-to-face with Koffi in the 83rd. With this success, Lyon thus won his fourth victory in five days and already turns to the Europa League, with a trip to Utrecht scheduled for September 25.
