It’s over! OL correct the Lorient players
Lyon easily won on the lawn of Lorient thanks to a double from Faivre, a goal from Dembélé and Toko Ekambi. In the standings, Les Gones are two points behind Stade Rennais, 4th. For the Hakes, on the other hand, the weekend will be long. They could end this 27th day in the red zone.
Two minutes of additional time
We are entering additional time for this first match of the 27th day of Ligue 1. There will be two additional minutes.
The end of the game is approaching
It’s almost the end of the match and OL calmly manage the last few minutes. The Hakes now seem to have given up.
The return of Jeff Reine-Adelaide
It’s an event! Jeff Reine-Adélaïde enters the game and replaces Lucas Paqueta. The young Lyon winger had been out of the pro squad for over a year due to a serious injury.
Kadewere stumbles on Dreyer
No fifth goal for OL! This time Dreyer comes out well in front of Tino Kadewere and prevents the striker from scoring his first goal of the evening.
Triple change for Lorient
Just after this goal which seems to seal the fate of this meeting, Christophe Pélissier makes three changes. Boisgard, Soumano and Morel replace Laurienté, Petrot and Moffi
The double for Faivre
Superb finish from Romain Faivre who takes his ball perfectly on an opening of Aouar. The former Brestois subtly pricks the ball above Mathieu Dreyer.
More than 13,000 spectators at Moustoir
Just over 13,000 spectators came to the Moustoir stadium to watch this first match of the 27th day of Ligue 1 between Lorient and OL.
Three changes for OL
Peter Bosz makes three changes. Boateng, Kadewere and Henrique replace Emerson, Lukeba and Moussa Dembélé.
Karl Toko-Ekambi remains on the ground
The Cameroonian winger remains on the ground after contact with Houboulang Mendes. The healers are at his side.
The Lopes tap
Laurent Abergel overflows on the right side and addresses a trapper center. Anthony Lopes is vigilant and averts the danger by pushing back for a corner.
The game is heating up
This first meeting of the 27th day of Ligue 1 launches the weekend perfectly. The match is very rhythmic and the two teams go blow for blow.
Toko-Ekambi gives OL a two-goal lead
Oh the cold snap at the Moustoir stadium! Karl Toko-Ekambi restored a two-goal lead to OL just after Terem Moffi reduced their score.
Moffi revives Lorient
This match may not be over! Terem Moffi takes advantage of a deflection on the corner taken by newcomer Enzo Le Fée to place his header and deceive Anthony Lopes
Christophe Pélissier makes changes
The Lorient coach tries to change the course of the match. Enzo Le Fée and Ibrahima Koné replace Dango Ouattara and Thomas Monconduit.
Dembélé’s head ends up in Dreyer’s arms
On a superb cross from Maxence Caqueret, Moussa Dembélé finds himself alone at the far post and pricks his head but Mathieu Dreyer is vigilant and captures the ball. No double for the Lyon striker.
Moffi’s strike flies away
It is the most dangerous Hake since the start of the meeting. Terem Moffi wreaked havoc in the central defense and took his chance on the half-volley but his attempt flew into the stands of the Moustoir stadium.
First strike of the second period
As in the first act, it was the Lyonnais who took their chance first. This time, it’s Maxence Caqueret who tries from afar without worrying Mathieu Dreyer.
Here we go again!
Start of the second period at the Moustoir stadium! The Merlus have half time to try to come back in a match that is largely smiling at the Lyonnais for the moment.
It’s halftime!
Romain Lissorgue whistles and puts an end to this first period at the Moustoir stadium. OL lead by two goals thanks to goals from Romain Faivre and Moussa Dembélé.
What a sequence of Moffi
Oh what an action from Terem Moffi who had mystified Thiago Mendes but who then faces the good exit of Lopes.
Goal disallowed for Toko Ekambi
Karl Toko Ekambi places a close-range header into Dreyer’s net but the assistant raises his flag for an offside position.
The strike of Le Goff in the small nets of Lopes
Good action by the Hakes with the shift from Laurent Abergel towards Laurenté. The Lorient winger shifts Le Goff who tries his luck directly in a complicated angle and finds the small nets of Anthony Lopes.
Nice save from Lopes
Terem Moffi turns around in the penalty area after good work from Monconduit and tries his luck. Anthony Lopes is well placed and pushes the ball away for a corner.
Half time is approaching
The end of the first period is approaching and for the moment OL are making a perfect copy on the lawn of the overwhelmed Hakes.
Monconduit collects a yellow card
Thomas Monconduit is warned after an illicit interference on the Brazilian Lucas Paqueta who obtains a good free kick.
The completely unscrewed strike of Monconduit
After a corner pushed back by the OL defence, Thomas Monconduit resumed but his shot was completely unscrewed and fled the target.
OL’s second sublime goal
Oh what a magical action from OL that doubled the bet. On a good recovery from Lyon, Romain Faivre finds Toko Ekambi who serves Emerson in depth. The Italian side crosses towards Moussa Dembélé who deceives Dreyer with a very inspired madjer.
Superb save from Dreyer
Paqueta goes alone against Dreyer on a deep ball from Aouar. The Brazilian opens his foot but Dreyer lays down well and avoids the break.
Paqueta’s magic control
Oh the very nice control of Paqueta. On a deep ball, the former Milanese is happy with a touch of magic ball.
Terem Moffi pushes his ball too much
Terem Moffi escapes deep and seems uncatchable but Emerson tackles the feet of the Lorient striker who pushed his ball too far.
Romain Faivre is untenable
Since the start of this meeting, the Lyon winger has been struggling in defense of the Hakes. He dezones a lot and touches a lot of balls.
It combines well on the OL side
The Lyonnais made a very good start to the match. They combine perfectly and often find themselves very quickly in front of the cages of Mathieu Dreyer.
Good intervention by Thiago Mendes
Lorient reacted rather well to the opener. The Hakes project themselves again with the cross of Houboulang Mendes who falls on his Lyon namesake perfectly placed to defend his cages.
The Lorient reaction
The Hakes try to react in stride. Armand Laurienté is launched in depth and takes his chance but his shot is deflected by Gusto. The ball goes for a corner.
Romain Faivre launches OL
It’s already 1-0 for OL thanks to Romain Faivre’s first goal in his new colours. Paqueta back to goal for the former Brestois who perfectly deceives Dreyer.
The Lyonnais are high on the pitch
After five minutes of play, the first lesson of this meeting is clear. OL placed themselves high on the pitch and prevented the Lorient people from recovering.
First opportunity for Lyon
After a festival of Moussa Dembélé who combines with Toko-Ekambi, the French striker tries to find a taker in the center but the ball is cleared by the Lorient defense.
First duel won by Malo Gusto
The young Lyon side Malo Gusto, replacing Léo Dubois, won his first duel against Laurienté.
Let’s go!
The referee of the meeting Romain Lissorgue raises the whistle to his mouth and launches this match between Lorient and OL.
The players are in the tunnel
The kick off of the meeting will soon be given by the arbite of the meeting. The two teams are in the tunnel and will enter the lawn of the Moustoir stadium.
OL can come back to within two points of fourth place
If successful tonight at the Moustoir stadium, Peter Bosz’s men can return to European places. They are currently 10th five points behind Stade Rennais, 4th. The Hakes, meanwhile, have the opportunity to breathe and take shelter from the red zone for this weekend.
Another supersub for Lorient?
Of the last six goals scored by Les Merlus in Ligue 1, four have been scored by substitutes. Will coaching be a winner again for Christophe Pélissier tonight?
The first leg
The two teams had parted ways in a draw on the 8th day of Ligue 1. OL had conceded the first goal after the expulsion of Emerson but managed to come back to level thanks to the equalizer from Karl Toko -Ekambi on returning from the locker room.
The composition of Lorient
On the side of FC Lorient, Christophe Pélissier articulated his starting lineup in 4-3-3 with the presence of Jenz in central defense who replaces Julien Laporte suspended. Here is the composition of the Merlus: Dreyer – H.Mendes, Jenz, Petrot, Le Goff – Monconduit, Innocent, Abergel (cap.) – Ouattara, Moffi, Laurienté
The composition of OL
The composition of Olympique Lyonnais has fallen. Peter Bosz establishes Houssem Aouar alongside Caqueret in midfield following the absence of Tanguy Ndombélé. Note the return of Jeff-Reine Adélaïde to the Lyon bench. OL line-up: Lopes – Gusto, T.Mendes, Lukeba, Emerson – Caqueret, Aouar – Faivre, Paqueta, Toko-Ekambi – Dembélé
