Thanks to a penalty from Léo Berdeu in the very last seconds, Lyon won this Saturday evening in Bordeaux. Victory with a score of 22-20 for the Lyonnais against a UBB who fell for the first time this season at home. With this defeat, Yannick Bru’s men leave first place in the standings at Stade Toulouse.
The air was unbreathable on the pitch of the Chaban-Delmas stadium in Bordeaux-Bègles during the final moments of the match on the 15th day of Top 14 between UBB and LOU, ultimately won by Lyon (22-20). Yannick Bru’s men lost for the first time this season at home, where the Lyonnais had never won in their history. The latter carried out a very good operation while Racing and Stade français lost this Saturday. With the defensive bonus point, UBB regains the leadership position in Toulouse.
Very active, but impatient Lyonnais
There was no need to be late in front of your television set or in the stands. The Lyonnais decided to hit the ground running on the pitch at the Chaban-Delmas stadium. From the start, Léo Berdeu at the foot (1′), then Davit Niniashvili taking advantage of the Girondins’ defensive errors to sneak in and flatten into the in-goal (3′), surprised the Bordelais. Picked cold, Yannick Bru’s team took time to react. And without overwhelming impatience, Karim Ghezal’s men could even have increased their lead. Very solid and reactive in defense, the Gones initially resisted before cracking on a throw-in cleanly brought out by Yann Lesgourgues to Pablo Uberti, who only had to flatten in a corner (19′).
The two teams then observed each other for a long time, during which neither actor managed to find the fault. So every opportunity to score points was chosen. Léo Berdeu on one side (8 points scored), and Joey Carbery on the other (7 points). After starting in the best way, Lyon finally ended the first act in the worst way. On a powerful penetrating group, Romain Latterade concluded a very good collective effort (37′). And Lyon’s indiscipline (8 penalties conceded) was punished by the referee, with a yellow card from Dylan Cretin (38′).
-Your finish team
Outnumbered from the start of the second act, the Rhônalpins held back, resisted, and even thought they would surprise the UBB once again. On a diagonal from Léo Berdeu, very good at the foot this Saturday, Vincent Rattez thought of scoring a trickster try on a missed reception from Pablo Uberti, but the referee finally canceled it, the winger having been the author of a loss of control of the ball (50′). The LOU then built its advantage thanks to the multiple banderillas of Léo Berdeu (17 points scored over the entire match, 6/7 shooting).
