What a start to the season for Malick Fofana! Holder with Olympique Lyonnais on the LOSC pitch, the neo-Diable Rouge (1 selection) has once again delighted the supporters of the Gone by equalizing in the 90th + 1 minute with a volley (1-1). A point which allows OL to stay three lengths behind their evening rival, who unfortunately saw Thomas Meunier leave with an injury after 85 minutes of play.
We don’t stop anymore Malick Fofana : newly elected Olympique Lyonnais Player of the Month for October by the club’s supporters, the former Gant player scored his 5th goal of the season (the 3rd in Ligue 1) this Friday on the Lille pitch. While the Gone were down 1-0 since the 17th minute and a pawn of Jonathan DavidFofana volleyed a cross fromAinsley Maitland-Niles in added time to avoid a fourth defeat in ten Ligue 1 matches at the Gones.
For the second time in a row, the 19-year-old winger played the entire match. On the Belgian side, we will also note the injury of Thomas Meunier, forced to give up his place in the 85th minute due to pain during a race. Also starting on the Lille side, Ngal’ayel Mukau was replaced in the 81st minute.
With this sharing, Olympique Lyonnais is provisionally 5th (15 points out of 30), while LOSC is 3rd (18) but could be overtaken by Marseille (17), which travels to Nantes on Sunday evening.
