It’s confirmed, Olympique Lyonnais are approaching the final sprint of Ligue 1 with the wind in their sails. After their victory against Lorient (2-0) and especially this success won on Sunday on the pitch of Paris Saint-Germain (1-2), the Gones continued this Saturday afternoon against Auxerre (3-2).
Aligned at the forefront, Roman Yaremchuk put his team on the right track by perfectly cutting a cross from the left, signed Abner Vinicius (1-0, 19th), but the AJA quickly responded, Sinaly Diomandé taking advantage of the apathy of the Rhone defense to score against his training club after a confused action (1-1, 35th).
After a post found by Endrick at the end of the first period (45th), OL had to wait for the entry of Corentin Tolisso to regain the advantage, with a goal from the world champion following a high recovery from Tanner Tessmann (2-1, 66th).
Tolisso and Yaremchuk, the strong men of the day
We will find the two strong men of the day, with a cross from Tolisso and a nice recovery from Yaremchuk, for the break goal (3-1, 71st). Bryan Okoh’s reduction in the gap (3-2, 88th) will give a little thrill at Groupama Stadium at the end of the match, without consequence.
With this third success in a row, OL consolidates its place on the podium three days from the end. For its part, Auxerre misses an opportunity to put pressure on Le Havre and Nice, and leaves a semblance of hope to Nantes in the race to maintain.
