It’s a small Olympique Lyonnais who qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, defeating Bergerac (1-2), resident of National 2, this Friday evening.
OL is not yet healed. After having relapsed in Le Havre last weekend (3-1), after having chained a series of three victories in a row, the Gones faced the Petit Poucet of the 16th finals of the Coupe de France, Bergerec, this Friday evening at Limoges. And Pierre Sage’s men were not really reassured, winning on the wire (1-2) in front of National 2 residents reduced to ten after the expulsion of Gyeboaho (65th).
The Lyonnais logically opened the scoring thanks to a goal from their winter recruit, Fofana (37th), well served by Lacazette, and pushed to score the break goal but a placement error cost them the equalizer in added time (45th+1) of a rhythmic and pleasant first period. Sluggish in the second half, the Rhone residents lacked offensive efficiency and could even have been surprised in one or two situations.
Caqueret delivers the Gones
But with numerical superiority, the residents of L1 ended up breaking this valiant Bergerac team. It was following a set piece that Caqueret offered qualification to the Lyonnais who were not calm at the end of the match. But the main thing is assured for OL, who will have to show a much better face next Friday in the championship, on the pitch at Stade Rennais.
