Olympique Lyonnais won against their big rival Saint-Etienne on Sunday in the last match of match day 27 of Ligue 1. Rudi Garcia's men won 2-0, thanks to a double from Moussa Dembélé. The Lyonnais striker opened the scoring in the 27th minute of play, before sealing his team's victory in the penalty spot, at the very end of the match (96th). OL go back to 5th place in the ranking. The Stéphanois are now 16th with only two points ahead of the red zone.
Solid Lille in Nantes
For its part, Lille beat FC Nantes 1 goal to 0 in the afternoon. Thanks to this solid match, the Dogues remain in the race for the podium, one point behind the third, Rennes. Benjamin André's goal in the 58th minute even allowed Christophe Galtier's men to outrun their pursuers like Montpellier and Monaco, who had six points less. Nantes residents have not won at Beaujoire since December 8 and have stagnated in 11th place. For the team of Christian Gourcuff, it is a halt after the beautiful victory against OM last week. "Objectively, we came across stronger than us," admitted the Nantes coach.
Bordeaux and Nice leave in a draw
In the other match of the afternoon, Bordeaux and Nice left with a draw (1-1) at Matmut Atlantique in a balanced match. Everything suggests that the result does not satisfy either of the two clubs. The OGCN of Patrick Vieira remains in the middle of the table, but now 8 points from fourth place in Europe, while waiting to receive Monaco. As for the Girondins, who have not won at home for five games, they remain in 12th place two points from Nice. The Girondin transitions were clearly the fastest, and one of them unlocked the false rhythm of the match: on a ball lost by Ounas near the Girondin surface, a Basic raid launched De Préville for a large bridge full of composure on Benitez for the 1-0 at the 21st minute of play. During a second more removed, and especially less timid act of the Nice, Ounas mystified Costil at the 57th of an aerobatic halfway up.
