This is called a hold-up. Olympique Lyonnais achieved a cruel and unexpected success in Toulouse (2-1), this Sunday September 29 for the 6th day of Ligue 1. The decisive goal for the Lyonnais was scored by Malick Fofana (90’+5 ) in the final seconds, on the first and only shot on target for the Rhone players of the match.
Three days after their convincing entry into the Europa League and a success against Olympiakos (2-0), OL were shaken up by Toulouse who lit the first fuse. On a good serve from his captain Vincent Sierro, Yann Gboho unleashed a marvelous left-footed strike which landed in Lucas Perri’s top corner (14′).
Before TFC were joined in the score a few minutes later by OL, with the unfortunate own goal from Rasmus Nicolaisen, who deflected Sael Kumbedi’s right-wing cross into his own goal (28′) . Behind, Toulouse dominated, without success. Lucas Perri saved the Lyonnais in the final moments of the match from a reflex save in extremis on an attempt by Joshua King (90’+3). Before Fofana’s bamboo kick, in a completely crazy end to the match.
With this unexpected victory, OL moved up to 10th place in the standings with 7 points, ahead of their opponent of the day, on the edge of the red zone (15th, 5 points).
Repeated tributes to the memory of a supporter
In a full Stadium, the meeting was marked by numerous tributes to Violets supporter Brice Taton, who died fifteen years ago to the day, on September 29, 2009, following an attack on the sidelines of a trip to Belgrade for a TFC match in the European Cup. Each TFC player also had a print with Brice’s name on the back.
The tributes continued throughout the day from the kop of the Toulouse Ultras, the “Brice Turn”with a huge tifo displaying Brice’s name, banners and songs.
