Lindsey Horan during Montpellier – OL (@MHSC)
Having barely had a break from the Olympic Games, Lindsey Horan is on cloud nine at the start of the season. The midfielder was again valuable in OL’s victory against Montpellier. Find the best and the flop of Olympique-et-Lyonnais.
Top: Lindsey Horan always precious
With four goals already in two games, Lindsey Horan has attacked this season with OL. The series of achievements continued this Saturday evening with the break goal, but this does not mean that we should limit the midfielder’s performance to this goal. There was some waste at times, but the slaughter carried out by the American is almost essential in this team. In front, behind, Horan does not seem to have the fatigue of the Olympic Games in his legs. Being alerted twice in the area, she failed to get her header on target, but it was only a postponement. By cutting a corner, she extended the ball towards Renard for the opener (37th).
Metronome of the Lyon game, Horan then made the break at the best possible moment after the hour mark. But why stop so well? Without a tap from the Montpellier goalkeeper, she would have scored another double, but seeing Dumornay follow well, the Olympic champion was still involved in an OL goal.
Flop: Becho and Chawinga, wings difficult to deploy
She had not yet had the honors of a start at the start of the season. In view of the Champions League on Tuesday and in order to concern his entire group, Joe Montemurro chose to align Vicki Becho on the right side of the attack. After the two offensive festivals of the first days, it is necessarily more complicated to pay behind. In a match during which OL struggled to find the fault in the first half, the danger unfortunately did not come from the sides. However, with the return of the 4-3-3, the desire to go through the wings was very present.
Unfortunately, neither Becho nor Chawinga managed to stand out. If the Malawian was very little served, her friend on the opposite side had the balls to overflow. But the French international barely managed to pass the shoulder to get ahead of her opponent. Added to this was a bit of technical waste like this missed penalty at the very end of the match when the team wanted to restore confidence.
