At the time of finding Ligue 1 after the international break, it was not a bad idea to program this Strasbourg-Lyon at the opening of the 27th day. After a spectacular first leg in the Rhône (4-3 success of Gones after being led 3-1), the reunion between these two in shape teams offered a kidnapped and spectacular match.
In a duel between contenders for Europe, it was RC Strasbourg who struck a blow by setting a convincing success (4-2), which stops the series of three consecutive victories of the Lyonnais.
In the first period, the best occasions had however been for the men of Paulo Fonseca. With Alexandre Lacazette on the bench, Georges Mikautadze struck on the crossbar (9th). Ernest Nuamah was denied a goal for offside, after a service of the inevitable Rayan Cherki (39th).
A big bakwa
On the return from the locker room, the Alsatian tornado fell on OL. Andrey Santos opened the head of the head (55th), on a corner from Dilana Bakwa, which doubled the bet on a magnificent lonely raid (60th).
Corentin Tolisso reduced the gap of the head, after a rejected shot from Rayan Cherki (62nd). But Strasbourg took over the ascendant, Emmanuel Emegha in turn piercing the very permissive Lyon defense (73rd), before the goal of the young Samuel Amo-Ameyaw (89th), and the penalty of Mikautadze after additional time (90th+6).
With his 19 points taken out of 21 possible since seven games, Strasbourg climbed in fifth place, in front of OL. And the amazing team of Liam Rosenior confirms that Europe is a real possibility for it.
