After the victories of PSG and Brest, the draw of Lille and the defeats of Monaco and Nice, the French epic on the European scene concluded, this Thursday evening, with a poster opposing Olympique Lyonnais to Eintracht Frankfurt for the 6th day of the Europa League. At Groupama Stadium, Pierre Sage’s men, ninth at kick-off, were organized in a 4-2-3-1 with Cherki at number 10 and an attacking trio made up of Nuamah, Fofana and Lacazette. Opposite, the German formation presented itself in 4-4-2. If Ekitike was present, Marmoush started on the substitutes’ bench. Quickly animated, this meeting offered the first hot situation for Ekitike but the former Parisian striker, found in depth, crushed his shot too much (6th). In the process, OL also showed up and Tolisso, superbly found by Cherki, sent his recovery onto Trapp’s left post (7th).

A lively match where Lacazette stood out in turn, without hitting the target (11th). Dangerous offensively, OL were nevertheless going to be punished by a new incursion by the Eagles. Taking advantage of a big mistake from Caleta-Car, Ekitike found Knauff who finished with a resumption from the right (0-1, 18th). Air-conditioned, the Rhone residents were quick to react… After a restart in the middle, Tolisso took his chance from outside the area. On the trajectory, Cherki deviated and took the German goalkeeper on the wrong foot (1-1, 27th). Invigorated after this equalizer, OL went on the offensive again but Nuamah, again found by Cherki, found Frankfurt’s left post (36th). After a very rhythmic first act, the Lyonnais finally took the advantage after returning from the locker room.
OL already qualified for the play-offs
After another recovery from Lacazette, Cherki found Fofana who finished with a flat left foot in front of Trapp (2-1, 50th). Buoyed by this goal, OL wasted no time in making the break. On a new offensive and new service from Cherki, Nuamah refocused before landing a powerful curling shot from the unstoppable left (3-1, 54th). In control and after the entries of Veretout, Benrahma, Tessmann, Mikautadze and Abner Vinicius, the Lyonnais finally secured another convincing victory allowing them to climb to 4th place in this league phase despite the reduction in Marmoush’s score (3-2 , 86th).
