Olympique Lyonnais won against Racing Club de Strasbourg this Friday, on Matchday 3 of Ligue 1 (-).
The specter of last season was beginning to hover in the skies of Groupama Stadium. Worst student, along with Brest, of this start to the season in Ligue 1,Olympic Lyon already had an answer to give, this Friday, in a trap match against Racing Club de Strasbourg, before facing Lens and Marseille on the return from the international break.
Opposite, the Alsatian formation remains unknown on paper, carried by a particularly young group after having taken a 180 degree turn in its strategy, but it had real assets to shower this OL still in running-in. And in this balance of power, it was finally the Gones who had the last word, at the end of a completely incredible scenario.
Lyon stunning!
It all started so badly for OL. Right from the start, Strasbourg dampened the mood with a goal from Nanasi (0-2, 2nd). Pierre Sage’s men had the merit of coming back before the break thanks to Tolisso (1-1, 45th+1), but the start of the second half turned into a nightmare for Lyon, surprised by the rapid attacks of the fiery Strasbourg players. Santos (1-2, 48th) then Emegha (1-3, 58th) allowed Racing to take a comfortable lead.
That was without counting on a crazy reaction from Lyon. The light came from Orban. After Maitland-Miles reduced the score following a missile from Lacazette (2-3, 61st), the OL center forward capsized the crowd by offering himself a double, (3-3, 63rd, 4-3, 72nd) to completely reverse the situation. At first affected, without being sunk, OL ended up getting back up. Like a feeling of déjà vu.
