Olympique Lyonnais won a completely crazy match in Toulouse (2-3) thanks to the doubly decisive entry into play by Rayan Cherki, Friday evening, at the opening of the 26th day of Ligue 1.

It’s all smiles that Pierre Sage’s OL will experience the next international break, with the crazy dream of securing European qualification! The Gones won a great match on the pitch in Toulouse (2-3), Friday evening, at the opening of the 26th day (out of 34) of Ligue 1. Enough to allow them to appear in 10th position in the standings ahead of the Violets at provisionally six points from 6th place.

The Lyonnais initially thought they had done the hard part by opening the scoring through Alexandre Lacazette, uncompromising after a strike from Corentin Tolisso on the post (33rd). The 13th goal of the “General”. But the 32-year-old French international, back after two matches of absence, gave up his place at half-time due to illness. The Lyonnais then completely collapsed.

Cherki’s first goal!

Téf, rather good lately, completely turned the situation around in five minutes, to ignite his Stadium audience. Thijs Dallinga finished closely in front of Anthony Lopes (53rd) and Vincent Sierro converted a penalty obtained by the untenable Yann Gboho (59th). Carles Martinez Novell’s team then had a very good victory at home.

This was without counting the talent of Rayan Cherki, who came on in the 66th minute and who, ten minutes later, equalized like a great (77th). He had not yet scored this season in Ligue 1! The Bleuet, not called up on Thursday by Thierry Henry for the next two matches of the Espoirs tricolor, then hit the corner on which the giant Jake O’Brien, with a header, gave the Rhone visitors the advantage (81st). Mad !
