OL beat Chambéry and qualify for the 8th of the Coupe de France thanks to a hat-trick from Lacazette

OL did not tremble against Chambéry (3-0), resident of National 3. Even if everything was not perfect, far from it, like a very bad start to the second period, the Lyonnais ensured the essential thanks to Alexandre Lacazette, author of a hat-trick (11th, 33rd, 67th), on two assists from Tetê and another from Barcola after an individual feat on the left side.

Too much waste in front

Even if some players, like Thiago Mendes, far below, and to put it mildly, seemed far from their best level, this victory can help OL in the future. Only concern: once again, the attackers lacked efficiency and it will be necessary, at some point, not to rely only on the captain.

In this respect, Moussa Dembélé, a real gunner, however, lost another face-to-face with the goalkeeper, an opportunity he would not have missed last year (77th). Tetê also unscrewed a seemingly easy strike (87th), Rayan Cherki not being more skilful in other situations. There is still work for the Olympians to regain confidence. Chambéry even let a few shivers pass through a defense that was still too porous. But OL are qualified for the knockout stages of the Cup. Laurent Blanc will be satisfied with it in this complicated period.
