Severely beaten by Lens last week, Lyon moved forward this Saturday in Lorient.
A 0-3 correction at home, after four straight victories in the league – not counting the Coupe de France – is what could have plunged OL back into crisis. Yet this Saturday again orphaned by its playing master – Lacazette – on the Lorient lawn, Lyon has well and truly washed away the Lensois affront.
At Moustoir, the Gones felt comfortable against the almost harmless Bretons. After a goalless first period, Tagliafico gave his team the advantage at the start of the second period (0-1, 52e), imitated less than a quarter of an hour later by Baldé (0-2, 65e), author of his very first Rhone goal.
Lorient still in danger
“ We wanted to get back together today », Dixit Caqueret at the end of the game on Prime Video, echoing the words of his coach, Pierre Sage, who beforehand had estimated that his team “ could fall » but had to “ immediately get up “.
In the standings, the operation is not neutral for OL, who temporarily regain tenth place, coming back to just eight points behind the first European ticket. For the Merlus, which came out of the red last week, the weekend promises to be trying while the HAC in particular threatens.
