Lyon loses in front of Lens and sees the C1 moving away
It is a defeat that could be fatal at OL in the race for Europe. While Monaco, Strasbourg and Nice won, Lyon lost this Sunday against Lens (1-2).
Dominators in front of a well -organized Lensoise team, Paulo Fonseca’s men have long struck Mathew Ryan, appointed man of the match. The blood and gold first took the lead on a corner struck from the right side: Thomasson’s strike is braked in the Lyon surface but Koyalipou appears and leaves Perri taped on his line (21 ‘).
In the intense rain which falls on the lawn of Groupama Stadium, the Lyonnais rush forward. Lens then has more and more difficult to bring out the ball and badly negotiates the spaces left against OL.
The Lyonnais believe they have done the hardest when Clinton Mata Center at the second post for Mikautadze who passes in front of Ojediran and comes to place a cross -head which, this time, leaves Mathew Ryan helpless (79 ‘).
But a few minutes later, the Gones undergo a new Lensois flash. Eccentric on the left more than 30 meters from the goal, Anass Zaroury unchecks a strike from the right which quickly falls back into the right skylight of an advanced Lucas Perri (85 ‘).
Sounded by the masterpiece of the Moroccan striker, OL will not get up. The Lyonnais let their main competitors escape to Europe and are now three points from Strasbourg and Nice, pending the shock of Lille against Marseille (8:45 p.m.).
Le Havre reverses Auxerre and believes in maintaining
Le Havre clings to his dream dream by beating AJA in the last minutes (1-2). The players of Didier Digard were however carried out following the opening of the Sinayoko score of a rolled strike of the right (62 ‘). But the extra Havre soul made the difference at the end of the match.
Ten minutes from the term of regulation time, Zouaoui draws a corner deflected by Jubal in his own goal (80 ‘). The HAC even snatches the points of victory in additional time: Mwanga center on the head of Sangané which finds the small Auxerrois net (90+2 ‘).
Thanks to this success, the Le Havre – always barragists – are only a nantes point, the first team outside the red zone.
Brest bounces against Montpellier
In the other Sunday afternoon match between clubs with a fixed fate, Brest, who can no longer join the European places, defeated Montpellier (1-0), already relegated.
The Brestois imposed themselves as a resumption of the left of Del Castillo following a pereita-lanes corner deflected at the first post by Camara (15 ‘).
Angers beats Nantes and takes a big step towards maintenance
Angers did an excellent operation in the maintenance race by winning in Nantes (0-1). With 33 points, the Angevins take 14th place in Nantes (32 pts) and have 6 lengths ahead of Saint-Etienne, 17th and first relegation, which, moreover, has a much more negative goal difference than theirs (-39).
Apart from an eccentric free kick returning from Moses Simon who came to die on the post, Nantes still displayed his great difficulty in being dangerous other than against.
It is paradoxically Jim Alvinah, the player who had struck the most without ever scored this season in Ligue 1, who released the SCO on his 36th attempt, at the conclusion of a beautiful collective movement (0-1, 52nd).
