There was a match, all the same, because the Lyonnais still have so much difficulty negotiating their start to the period and Gautier Larsonneur, on the Saint-Etienne side, did what was necessary to stretch the suspense. OL would not have had to wait until the half hour of play and a goal from Alexandre Lacazette to realize their domination if the ASSE goalkeeper had not done the job, with a little success also on the strike from the Lyon captain repelled by his left post (26th). And it would not have remained within reach of Stéphanois if Larsonneur, again, had not repelled an attempt from Fofana (75th).
