The waltz of the red cards

The meeting had however started well for the Lyonnais. For twenty minutes, OL had multiplied the opportunities under the leadership of Caqueret, Aouar and Toko Ekambi. Until the logical expulsion of Marçal for having hooked Hicham Bouadoui, left alone towards the goal (22nd). The Nice took the opportunity to open the scoring thanks to Dolberg (33rd).

Just before halftime, Rudi Garcia's men equalized on an Aouar slalom, whose shot deflected by Benitez allowed Toko Ekambi to push the ball into the back of the net (45 ').

The podium moves away for OL

Unclear and incisive, the Lyonnais failed to make a difference in the second half. Worse, Kasper Dolberg showered all hope by scoring his second goal of the game, after a nice collective movement from Nice (63rd).

What leave Rudi Garcia a bit bitter: “I expected much better from the second period. Once again, the team was in management mode when it was necessary to be in determination mode. Victory went to the team that wanted the most. (…) We had the opportunity to pass 4th and we didn't take it. We lose points for the podium. It is a bad accounting transaction. "

The Lyonnais will try to reverse the situation this Wednesday at 7 p.m. by hosting Amiens at Groupama Stadium.
