By hanging on to Lille (1-1), OL gained a place in the ranking, but a great opportunity to join the Top 5. It has now been 75 days since the Lyon club was last in this circle.
The draw against Lille Friday evening (1-1) logically leaves regrets. As much for the first half missed by the Lyonnais and their gifts to LOSC that by this second period where theOL pushed and perhaps equalized too late to hope for better. However, the day after the end of the 10th day of Ligue 1, the regret to be had lies in the loss of the two points against Auxerre during the previous day. With two units taken in two matches, Pierre's players Sage are treading water, but still managed to scrape a place in the rankings. With the defeats of Lens and of ReimsOL climbed to 6th place, but saw Nice leapfrog them to take 5th place after their victory at Brest.
The symbol of a downgrade?
With a small point behind the Aiglons, the Lyon team is within striking distance of this Top 5 of the championship. But, we still have to look for a good result to integrate it. The two teams face each other on December 1st in Décines but in the meantime Saint-Etienne and Reims in the Lyon program. The opportunity to stop this endless series that theOL for months now. After the 10th day, it makes 75 days in a row in the championship that’OL did not enter the top 5. This represents the club's worst series since August 1991 – August 1993 (79), according to Stats Foot. Proof of a certain downgrading…
