OL suffered enormous disillusionment, eliminated from the Coupe de France by the amateurs of Bourgoin-Jallieu, this Wednesday (2-2, 4-2 tab), in the round of 16. Pushed to penalties, the Lyonnais had to bow after two saves from the Berjallien goalkeeper, hero of the N3 residents.
A bolt from the blue ! Bourgoin-Jallieu, a National 3 team (fifth division), created a surprise this Wednesday by eliminating Lyon on penalties (2-2, 4-2 tab) in the round of 16 of the Coupe du France. The hero of the match is Mehdi Moujetzky, author of the two Berjallian goals during regulation time (20th, 69th).
The failures of Lacazette and Tolisso on penalties
After a poor first period, OL responded after the break with Nemanja Matic (1-1, 45th) and Georges Mikautadze (2-1, 64th), but Bourgoin-Jallieu came back and won on penalties after two failures from Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso. Ronan Jay, the goalkeeper and hero of Bourgoin, pulled out all the stops.
“That’s why we play football! We did the job on penalties! We have to give credit to everyone, it’s going to mark us for life, it’s incredible! Thanks to all the volunteers! It’s incredible! We weren’t favorites (laughs), we showed great values, we’ll see what we can do! It’s not trivial,” he reacted on beIN Sports.
