The Dogues and the Rhodaniens, unrecognizable in the first period, drew (1-1).
During the first quarter of an hour, several Lyon players were too imprecise and messy. Like Malick Fofana who lost a lot of balls, or Moussa Niakhate who offered a golden opportunity to Lille by missing his back pass to Lucas Perry.
And after this first alert, the sanction fell.
In the 17th minute, it was the turn ofAinsley Maitland-Niles to miss his pass to the Brazilian goalkeeper. Jonathan David appeared and dribbled past the goalkeeper to score in the empty goal (1-0).
Lucas Perri was saved twice by his post and crossbar, Lille dominated his opponent head and shoulders.
Upon returning from the locker room, Rayan Cherki was trying to take matters into his own hands. His raid at the 53rd in the Lille defense allowed him to serve Alexandre Lacazette who missed the inevitable in the face of an empty goal.
And in the 70th minute, on a good Lyon counter-attack, Cherki found the bar. Lucas Chevalier.
The deliverance could have come in the 75th minute. On a poorly pushed corner, the ball arrived at the feet of Ainsley Maitland-Niles at the penalty spot. The Englishman did not hesitate and shot the cage. But Moussa Niakhaté was offside and the VAR canceled the goal.
It was finally in added time that luck finally smiled on Maitland-Niles, who crossed and found Malick Fofana, who equalized with an unacademic recovery (1-1).
It has already been three games without a victory for Lyon, in all competitions. Nothing like a derby, scheduled for next Sunday at Groupama Stadium, to get you going again?
