Applied and rigorous, sometimes flamboyant: Lyon inflicted a penalty on a weak Angers team (6-0), Friday at Groupama stadium, in the opening match of the second day of Ligue 1 and temporarily taken the lead with six points out of six possible.

OL had not won with six goals since November 2016 in Nantes. Now under the thumb of the Brazilian duo formed by Juninho, sports director, and Sylvinho, coach, the Lyonnais, score a lot and still have not conceded a goal in the league, while the defense was the main weakness of the team. last season but also during the preparation meetings.

Faced with a team without reaction SCO, far from the determination she had displayed against Bordeaux (3-1), August 10, the Lyonnais, in roller coaster mode and very complementary collectively, have confirmed their victory in Monaco (3-0) and their championship start is ideal.

Continuing, coach Sylvinho chose to line up a starting lineup, 4-3-3, identical to the one that started against the ASM on August 9th.

- Aouar as a symbol -

As a symbol, it is Houssem Aouar, with the N.8 on the back who made the glory of Juninho to the OL, now sports director, who celebrated his official return, quietly installed in a press gallery, which has quickly opened the scoring of a shot unchecked from outside the box after a Thiago Mendes serve (1-0, 11).

At the start of the second period, Aouar confirmed his good form today by giving Memphis Depay the fourth goal of Lyon on a light lobed pass (4-0, 49), a double for the Dutch who has already scored three times and issued three assists since the start of the championship.

For in the first half, he had had the same success as in Monaco by slipping the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Ludovic Butelle, as he had managed to do at the expense of Monegasque Benjamin Lecomte (3-0, 42).

And as in Monaco, Moussa Dembélé found again the opening, with a little success, to raise the score to 2-0 (36) while benefiting from a deep pass from Lucas Tousart, which, as at the stadium Louis II , has shown his advantage in the midfield and recovery of the ball.

Dembélé, alerted by Memphis, also scored twice as he scored his team's fifth goal with a cross shot from the left just before being replaced by Martin Terrier (5-0, 65) and the first goal with the OL of Brazilian Jean Lucas, also served by Depay (6-0, 72).

The Angevins, leaving a lot of space to their opponents, have too lacked presence in the duels to be able to oppose the collective and individual superiority of the OL.

Only Mathias Pereira-Lage and Rachid Alioui managed to find a position to shoot, safe for Anthony Lopes (13, 30).
