THE ESSENTIAL
- While making its best start to the season (accounting) for ten years (3 wins and 1 draw), Olympique Lyonnais (4th in Ligue 1) welcomes this Saturday (7 p.m.) an Angers SCO already struggling (19th ).
- This meeting of the 6th day of Ligue 1, which will be broadcast on Prime Video, could allow Peter Bosz’s men to continue their full card at Parc OL, after the successes against Ajaccio, Troyes and Auxerre.
- The essays :
For OL: Lopes – Gusto, Mendes, Lukeba, Tagliafico – Caqueret, Tolisso, Faivre – Tetê, Lacazette, Toko Ekambi.
For Angers SCO: Bernardoni – Bamba, Hountondji, Mendy, Doumbia, Valery – Bentaleb, Ounahi, Boufal – Diony, Hunou.
45th: Anthony Lopes prevents OL from returning less calmly to the locker room. Good little tap on a strike at the entrance to the surface of Yann Valery.
41st: It’s hot Alex Lacazette say so! Following a whim from Toko Ekambi on a corner, he managed a beautiful sequence in two stages to score again. But clear and clean offside for him which cancels this rather huge goal technically and in terms of liveliness.
39th : Here then is Lacazette on the podium of the top scorers in OL history, with 132 pawns like Serge Chiesa. Next target the indescribable Bernard Lacombe (149 goals). As for Fleury Di Nallo, we will have to hang on to get him with his 222 units.
38th: And the Lyon machine is launched for good! Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut from Lacazette, on a well-executed action, between a controlled opening from Tolisso on the right side, then a perfect center from Malo Gusto. Quiet on the spot, Lacazette drops a good header out of Bernardoni’s reach. This seems to be over, but with OL…
32nd: And here he is, the buuuuuuuut from Lyon! Standard scorer, our good old Karl Toko Ekambi has his second goal of the week (and of the season). At the start, opening in average depth of Mendes, but Bamba passes through. Toko takes advantage of this by readjusting his movement, and releasing a nice volley from the left, which is really not easy, which Bernardoni touches but cannot get out.
25th : Still no completely straightforward opportunity for OL: this time it’s Lacazette who sees his diving header closely being thwarted by a somewhat borderline (but correct) intervention from Bamba. For once, the first act against Auxerre was more convincing than this one so far.
16th : Another Lyon opportunity from a set piece, but Bernardoni’s new parade counts for nothing: the sequence between Mendes and Toko Ekambi was accompanied by an offside before.
13th: Ouuuuuuuh the big big opportunity for the SCO: ball lost by the defender of fortune (or misfortune, it depends) Thiago Mendes. The cult Loïc Diony is launched in stride and goes to challenge Lopes. The Lyon goalkeeper partly won his duel by stopping the ball and Lukeba did the rest of the job by taking out this hot ball one meter in front of the goal line.
9th : Not phew this mini-opportunity with a center-shot from Gusto falling on a vigilant Bernardoni, but on the spot, we still feel that Tetê (already 4 goals) has good legs (and good dribbling) originally .
8th : This very Le Mans red Angevin jersey from the Tulio De Melo era is amazing, isn’t it?
7th : Note that the Paulo Bernardoni will, without much surprise, be whistled/insulted throughout the match by the bends. Even a loan of a few months in Forez (concluded by a relegation), that is enough to mark the Lyon supporters.
3rd : This is Lyon’s first great opportunity, with Tagliafico triggering a big left shot deflected off the end of the gloves by Bernardoni, following a good combination on a free kick, and above all a magnificent opening from Lukeba. Well, the Argentinian side was flagged offside on the spot, but this action started the Lyon match well.
7:00 p.m.: And it’s goneoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
6:55 p.m. : We saw during this pre-match some nice little images of discussions between Moussa Dembélé and Gérald Baticle, ex-assistant coach in Lyon therefore, and who could play big this evening as for his personal future, and in the event of a rout at the OL Park.
See you at 6:45 p.m. in Décines so that we can experience this Tokoekambico together, friends (we hââââââââte).
