23:15 – The summary
OL returned to success in the derby by winning with great mastery against Saint-Etienne, who were mostly non-existent in the first period. We had to wait until a second half to see a good dose of adversity from the Stéphanois, but that is not enough to hope for much in a derby of this magnitude. OL threw all their strength at the start of the match with an elusive Malick Fofana on the left flank, a creative Rayan Cherki in front of the area and a finally inspired Lacazette in front of the goals. After a few attempts by Tolisso (26th), Lacazette (26th) and Fofana (28th), OL were able to deceive the vigilance of Larsonneur, very good in goals this evening, thanks to an opportunistic goal from Lacazette (29th) on a knee deviation.
If the bill was not big enough in favor of the Gones at the break, the second act was much less successful on the part of the Lyonnais with a notable drop in speed. This allowed ASSE to raise the level and show a totally different face. The biggest opportunities were therefore in favor of the Greens like those of Davitachvili (51st, 54th, 60th), Sissoko (76th) and Moueffek (92nd). Lyon was able to keep its back this time and hold on to an important result by favoring a slightly more controlled end-of-match management following its numerous misadventures in the fateful moments which cost it victories at the start of the season. He will also be able to thank Lucas Perri, vigilant and brilliant in the cages and who is taking up more and more space in the hearts of Lyon supporters.
If there was indeed a winner and a loser in this meeting, all the players agree that this derby offers an exceptional atmosphere like Lacazette who admitted his wish to see ASSE still in Ligue 1 . And he is not the only one to have this opinion.
23:11 – Dall'Oglio proud of his players
Not many regrets for Olivier Dall'Oglio, the Saint-Etienne coach, on this meeting “There are a lot of regrets as I told the players in the locker room but in terms of commitment I have nothing to reproach. In the last two matches there is improvement, there is a lot more solidity and commitment The boys discovered L1 and were surprised at the start of the season but little by little we are adding commitment.
23:07 – This is my last derby at Groupama
At the Canal microphone, evening scorer Alexandre Lacazette admitted half-heartedly that this is undoubtedly his last season with OL.This evening it was especially the heart that was at stake because it's my first derby at Groupama, probably my last. I immersed myself in the supporters and players. I scored with my knee, because I anticipated the action because I know that Tolisso is not far from the returners. I still prefer ASSE to be in Ligue 1, because we have two very important matches of the season.”
22:59 – Diakhate man of the match
Lyon defender Diakhaté was voted man of the match by the LFP, but he admits that the most important thing is the three points.It's true to say there were Lions this evening, there was certainly a drop in intensity in the second half, which was already the case in the last matches, but we had no right to give up. We are happy to have taken the three points'
22:55 – The real derby is here!
John Textor is delighted with the atmosphere of his first derby “I knew it was big, but it's even bigger when you're here. It's a real privilege to be here. I can tell you that the real derby is here.”
22:49 – Frustrated sheep
The ASSE central defender admitted his frustration at Canal's microphone after a frustrating defeat with a single goal.We sabotage the match a little on our own. Larsonneur fended off danger for a long time. Now we have to focus on what’s next. Lyon won the first round but there is a second with us.”
