A week after its disappointment against Marseille (2-3) at Décines-Charpieu (Rhône) in added time, Lyon snatched a capital success in the final moments from Toulouse (2-1), Sunday, during a 6e day of Ligue 1 also marked by the unexpected comeback of Saint-Étienne in Nantes (2-2) and the first setback for Marseille, in Strasbourg (1-0) at the end.
OM’s idyllic start to the season (four wins and a draw) had a first stop on the RCSA field, where the players of the Italian Roberto De Zerbi, despite the great debut of Adrien Rabiot, made a disappointing performance. Because of this hitch at Meinau, the Provençaux let co-leaders Paris SG and AS Monaco take three steps ahead at the end of this weekend. The Alsatians coached by the Englishman Liam Rosenior achieved this success during a first period which they clearly dominated in terms of visual impression and number of shots (six to three, four shots on target to one). Belgian-Portuguese winger Diego Moreira scored just before half-time.
OL won in the money time of the second half at the Stadium, thanks to a dribble from Rayan Cherki; the ball returned to Malick Fofana, who then turned into a providential scorer (90e + 5). The team coached by Pierre Sage suddenly goes back to 10e rank (7 pts) and exceeds the TFC (15e5 pts).
