Lyon conceded Saturday a defeat at home against Nantes (1-0), new leader of L1, which plunges into the crisis at four days of a perilous trip to Leipzig in C1.
Lyon went on to win a seventh consecutive game without a win in all competitions, a sixth in L1, and stalled in 11th place in L1 while waiting for the other matches of the 8th day in the evening and Sunday.
The Nantes, octuples champions of France, have not been leaders of the championship since August 7, 2005, the evening of a prestigious success in Rennes (3-0). They can however be exceeded in a few hours by the Paris SG if he does not lose Saturday in Bordeaux (17:30). And even Angers receiving Amiens (20:00) or Lille that moves to Nice (20:00).
Their victory in Lyon, the first since December 1996 and a long series of 17 failures in the Rhone (3 draws and 14 defeats), materialize a little more the renewal of the Canaries under the leadership of Christian Gourcuff.
The victory came from an unfortunate achievement by Brazilian defender Fernando Marçal (against his side) by clearing the ball against Samuel Moutoussamy (59th).
Opposite, under the whistles of their public, the Lyonnais are new appeared lost on the ground, unable to find themselves effectively even if the porter Nantes Alban Lafont is also a lot in their failure.
