The entire Lyon squad rushed to Léo Dubois after his decisive half-volley on Friday.

  • OL had to fight to overcome the Girondins de Bordeaux on Friday (2-1) and temporarily regain the lead in Ligue 1.

  • Salvation came from the right side Léo Dubois, author of a hallucinating half-volley freezing in the skylight of Benoît Costil, during added time.

  • The comparisons were quick to fuse after this goal from the former Nantes player, from Marco van Basten to Cafu.

    Even the official NASA Twitter account has not remained indifferent to this goal.

At Parc OL,

Second post Duboiiiiiiis… It's stronger than us, discovering a right side in difficulty defensively to split with a goal of anthology and devilishly

clutch

, that plunges us back on June 30, 2018 in Kazan.

Believe it or not, but in a few months, this OL-Bordeaux (2-1) behind closed doors, Friday in Décines, will perhaps have in the eyes of the Lyon supporters as much flavor as France-Argentina (4-3) of a World Cup having revealed Benjamin Pavard.

We have just entered the additional time of a meeting starting in all directions, and about to turn badly for a fragile Lyon, like two weeks earlier against Metz (0-1).

Sinaly Diomandé and Houssem Aouar quickly manage to put Maxwel Cornet in a central position (this is to tell you if the action is well underway).

The Ivorian therefore finds at the far post Léo Dubois, mounted in full surface in this

money time

.

4 goals in 157 L1 games so far, between Nantes and OL

Completely off-center on the right, the former Nantes driver is in control against Maxime Poundje.

He allows himself two small rebounds then unleashes a sudden and lightning half-volley.

With the help of the right amount of a mystified Benoît Costil, this one turns out to be unstoppable.

How could a 26-year-old side, who has scored 4 goals in his career in 157 Ligue 1 games, signed such a masterpiece allowing OL (temporarily) to regain the lead in the championship?

“He also scored a magnificent goal in Lorient (1-1, September 27, 2020), recalls Rudi Garcia.

He's a modern, attacking full-back, with great game intelligence. As we can see with this Champions League goal, I think he's in a superb period.

“If he was certainly amazing last week, with two assists in the derby (0-5), Léo Dubois still suffered during the 90 minutes against Bordeaux.

On September 27, Léo Dubois had already scored a precious goal in Ligue 1 in Lorient (1-1).

"There is only van Basten to score a goal like that"

But additional time offered a streak "from elsewhere" (dixit Laurent Koscielny) to the international tricolor (6 caps), transformed into a Samuel Umtiti at White Hart Lane in 2013, for a Tottenham-OL of the Europa League.

In the spans of Parc OL, the references were even more prestigious on Friday evening.

"It's not even an opportunity, there is only van Basten to score a goal like that", sighs Bordeaux coach Jean-Louis Gasset.

The Brazilian defender Marcelo, slightly lighthearted about the intention of this heavy strike ("I think he wanted to shoot, I hope", Dubois confirmed that yes), also went there from his comparison: "We l 'call Cafu all now because it was a magnificent goal ”.

Marco van Basten, Cafu… Léo Dubois is not about to forget this September 29, 2021, punctuated by a tweet even more improbable than this goal… from NASA (with its 43.4 million subscribers)!

The US government agency responds via a gif to a joke from OL's international account. 

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone.
