This Sunday in Ligue 1, OL got the better of Toulouse after another unconvincing match. But that doesn’t matter, the Gones will have shown a strength of character that is their own since the arrival of Pierre Sage at the head of the first team.
OL pulled off a nice performance on the pitch in Toulouse this Sunday. The Gones were however behind in the score but were able to do themselves justice to equalize then take the advantage in the final moments of the game. Enough to relieve an entire club and Pierre Sage, who however did not appreciate certain attitudes. The new coach of Les Gones will nevertheless be able to reassure himself given the strength of character of his team, which loves to crash in the last moments of matches. Moreover, on this subject, the statistics concerning Olympique Lyonnais are quite eloquent…
Pierre Sage’s OL never admits defeat, the statistics prove it
In recent hours, choose indicates that since the start of 2024, OL have been the best when it comes to scoring in added time, with 6 goals. The latest, that of Malick Fofana against Toulouse this Sunday. All these goals notably allowed Les Gones to glean 8 points, which were also decisive in the last qualification for the Europa League at the end of last season. Also note that, still according to the same source, OL have since the arrival of Pierre Sage scored 30% of their goals in Ligue 1 (14/48) via players who entered during the match. If everything is not perfect in Lyon, it is at least a good reason for satisfaction for the formation of Pierre Sage, who should scare a lot of teams in the future when the end of the match arrives.
