Under freezing temperatures and on bumpy terrain, OL once again delivered too poor a performance in line with those displayed since the start of 2025. Against the Berjalliens, they experienced a difficult first period during which they were led after a goal from Mehdi Moujetsky, with a good cross shot (21st).
Double for Moujetsky
Until then in managerial mode, Nemanja Matic, who had made too little effort in the midfield, equalized just before half-time for OL by victoriously recovering a cross delivered from the right wing by Saïd Benrahma ( 1-1, 45th).

In the second half, Les Gones took advantage of a goal from Georges Mikautadze to lead 2-1 twenty minutes from the end of regulation time. But Moujetsky managed to put Bourgoin back in the game by scoring his second goal of the evening, taking advantage of a bad back pass from Warmed Omari to adjust Perri (2-2, 69th).
The penalty shootout was then an ordeal for Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso, two major figures of Olympique Lyonnais, who missed their team's first two attempts, stopped by goalkeeper Ronan Jay. For his part, goalkeeper Lucas Perri was only able to repel one.
