Postponed because of the pitch, the Lorient-OL match will take place on September 7

This time, the Moustoir lawn should be better.

The match FC Lorient - Olympique Lyonnais of the 2nd day of Ligue 1, postponed because of an impassable pitch, has been rescheduled for Wednesday September 7.

The LFP competitions commission approved this rescheduling on Friday, which means that OL like Lorient will have to play five matches between Sunday August 28 and September 11, a very tight schedule.

The LFP, after having examined the lawn of the Moustoir stadium twice, announced on August 12 the postponement of the meeting initially scheduled for two days later.

The drought and the organization of the Interceltic Festival had seriously damaged the playing area.

The report was controversial

OL regretted that this decision had not been taken earlier, while Lorient, through its president Loïc Féry, accused Lyon of having "pressured" the LFP to record the postponement.
