Olympique Lyonnais dropped for the first time this season on Montpellier's pitch (1-0), Tuesday in an offbeat match (due to G7 and lack of available police) of the third day of the Championship, leaving Rennes alone with three victories at the controls.
A goal of Souquet
The men of Sylvinho, who conceded their first goal of the season by rookie Montpellier Arnaud Souquet (42) shortly after a penalty missed by Andy Delort (37), could never come back, not helped by the exclusion of their defender Youssouf Koné (51st), author of a gesture of mood on Delort. In the first two days, Lyon scored nine goals: 3-0 in Monaco and 6-0 against Angers in Décines.
