Victorious 2-0 at West Ham, the OL reserve qualified for the quarter-finals of the Premier League International Cup. See you in February 2025.
Like last year for their first participation, OL had the cards in hand when playing their last meeting in the group stage of the Premier League International Cup. But, unlike the scenario of the 2023-2024 edition, the Rhone reserve did not break down when it came time to conclude. Opposed to West Ham on Tuesday evening, they had to win to ensure they progress to the next round. This is what she managed to do, and with mastery please.
Gueida's men Breathingwho were able to count on the presence of Mahamadou Diawara and Enzo A leechmanaged this meeting perfectly. Well in place tactically, they left only crumbs for their opponent. And on the other hand, they knew how to sting at the right time. Sekou Lega opened the scoring in the 15th minute, taking advantage of a poorly saved ball.
A masterful success
As soon as they returned from the locker room, Diawara sheltered his team, allowing the Lyonnais to manage the end of the game without any fear. With nine points from four matches, they are assured of a ticket to the quarter-finals. Currently first in the group, the French team could only be overtaken by Middlesbrough on goal difference.
OL will therefore continue its journey in this English and European reserves competition from February. He is the only one today qualified for the rest of the tournament. Now it's time to recover, then we'll have to quickly move on to our daily bread, the championship. In National 3, where it is fourth, the Pro 2 group will face FC Chamalières at home on Saturday at 6 p.m.
OL’s starting 11: Konan – Barisic, Mounsesse, Lomami, Chaïb – De Carvalho, Diawara, Coponat – Molebe, Gomes Rodriguez, Lega
