The new specialty of Lyon? Victory without taking a goal. For the seventh time in eight games in all competitions this season, the training of Paulo Fonseca has accumulated success and “Clean-Sheet”, this Thursday evening, against Salzburg (2-0) in the Europa League.
With confidence and mastery, the Gones started this meeting perfectly. Pavel Sulc allowed himself to spoil a penalty (7th), but Adam Karabec took advantage of a bad recovery from the Austrian goalkeeper to recover the leather and offer a perfect center to Martin Satriano, author of his first goal under the colors of OL (1-0, 11th).
A small error by Clinton Mata (31st) announced a short time for OL at the end of the first period, but the Gones resumed control after the locker room. After attempts to Tanner Tessmann (55th) and Pavel Sulc (57th), a new impeccable center of the Fairy Karabec this time found the head of Ruben Kluivert (2-0, 57th).
What a start to the season for OL!
From then on, the plan was to help Dominik Greif repel the moment when he will take a goal with OL, while managing playing times (Fofana and Morton replacement, Tolisso replaced, the young Merah, Molebe and Carvalho on the field at the end of the match).
After its victories in Utrecht and Lille last week, Olympique Lyonnais continues its march forward, with a fairly amazing start to the season, and an ideal start in the Europa League (6 points taken on 6 possible). The rest of the adventures? Toulouse and Nice in Ligue 1, then Basel in the Europa League.
