And four! Four victories in six Europa League games for OL this season. This Thursday evening, Les Gones signed a great victory and a no less appreciable accounting operation at the expense of Frankfurt, thus overtaking their evening opponents to find themselves in the leading quartet of the competition.

If Eintracht opened the scoring in this part, by Knauff on a decisive pass from the former Parisian Ekitike (0-1, 18e), the Lyonnais quickly set the record straight thanks to Cherki’s clever deflection in front of the cage defended by Trapp – another former PSG player – on a strike from Tolisso (1-1, 27e).

Cherki on all the good shots

Cherki scored, then double decisive passer in the space of four minutes for the benefit of Fofana (2-1, 50e) and Nuamah (3-1, 54e), who rolled up a marvelous left-hand strike to seal the victory for his team. And this despite the reduction in the gap obtained by Marmoush at the end of the match (3-2, 85e).

Two acts from the end of the first phase of the Europa League – and upcoming matches against Fenerbahçe, in Turkey, and the Bulgarians Ludogorets – fourth-placed OL are clinging to the Top 8 directly qualifying for the round of 16. Six steps ahead of the 25e and first eliminated at this time.
