Facing Le Havre at home, Lyon settled for a small point this Sunday evening at the end of the 5th day of Ligue 1.
No psychological shock in Lyon. Landing during the international break, Laurent Blanc left bleak life behind him. Under the gaze of Fabio Grosso called to succeed him on the bench but confined to the stands this Sunday evening alongside the club’s boss, John Textor, OL offered their public a sad spectacle and a goalless draw conceded against promoted Le Havre (0-0).
Certainly generally dominant, particularly in the second half, the Gones were unable to realize a single one of their 23 shots on goal. Semi-occasions for the most part, except for a nice duel lost by Nuamah against Desmas (54e). With a little more success, the Norman visitors could even have achieved the hold-up, by Kuzyaev (57e) or Grandsir (68e), who missed the mark at point blank range.

In the end, it is therefore with a little more point in the bag – two in total – that the Lyonnais conclude this championship weekend. Certainly enough to abandon the red lantern to RC Lens, surprisingly last after five acts, but very clearly insufficient to claim a revival. The HAC for its part can be proud of its start to the season, with six units already amassed and an 11e encouraging place in the ranking.
