OL is no longer moving forward

Three days after their elimination from the Coupe de France in favor of Lens, the Lyonnais were back in front of their home crowd for the 25th act of Ligue 1. With Paris FC, this time, as their opponent.

Beaten in their last two outings in the league – by Strasbourg and OM – the Gones came close to a very embarrassing three-goal, saved in added time by a penalty converted by Tolisso (1-1, 90th+6).

More enterprising than their hosts as the minutes passed, the Parisians for their part found the fault shortly after the hour mark, through the essential Munetsi (63rd). Confirmation of a revival for the PFC since the arrival on the bench of Kombouaré.

With eight steps ahead of the red zone this evening, the capital club can see it coming. OL for their part lost big. With one point collected from the three tricks completed, the Rhone residents abandon the third step of the podium to their rivals from Marseille. On goal difference (+19 against +13).

OL-PFC, the lineups at kickoff

The Lyon eleven: Grievance – Tagliafico, Niakhaté, Mata, Hateboer – Merah, Tessmann, Morton, Abner – Himbert, Karabec.

The Parisian eleven: Trapp – Camara, Coppola, Mbow – Sangui, Munetsi, Lees-Melou, Matondo – Ikoné, Krasso, Simon.
