Having the opportunity to get on the podium just before the holidays, the OL U17s let a two-goal lead melt away in Bastia. The 2-2 draw in Corsica leaves the Lyonnais in 7th place at the end of 2024.
The match of missed opportunities. Both on the ground and at the accounting level and therefore the classification. This Saturday, in a late match, the U17s ofOL were traveling to Corsica to try to end the year 2024 in style. In the end, it was an infuriating draw that Amaury's players Barlet close this calendar year (2-2). A point which does not suit either of the two teams who had the opportunity to get on the podium and spend the Christmas holidays in the top 3. Ultimately, Bastiais and Lyonnais remain stuck in 6th and 7th place in this group D of the U17 national championship.
Resumption against Lyon-La Duchère in 2025
However, when leaving to rest before the resumption scheduled for the weekend of January 19, the draw has a different flavor, whether you are the SC Bastia or OL. In this last meeting, the Lyon team believed they had done the hardest part in the first half. Behind the two U16 internationals, Kenan Doganay (35th) and Adil Hamdani (44th), the U17s had made the break at the best of times. And the machine once again went wrong and OL's defense failed to be imperial. In the 51st minute, Rayan Bennabi gave hope to the Corsicans before Kimany Quimpert equalize with a quarter of an hour to go… Frustrating for OL who will start 2025 with a derby against Lyon-La Duchère at home.
