Brest 2-1 Lyon

Goals: Mounie (27^and SP) and Cardona (74^and) for SB29 // Dembélé (72^and) for OL

Lyon has not yet said goodbye to Europe. But it still looks very similar.

Sick, Peter Bosz did not make the long journey to Finistère with his group. It was therefore for his television that the Dutch technician saw his protégés experience another disappointment this Wednesday (2-1). One too many, no doubt, in the race for European places. Deprived of several executives (Anthony Lopes, Léo Dubois…) and Karl Toko Ekambi, who withdrew at the last minute (muscle discomfort), the Lyonnais were first mistreated by conquering Pirates. They put a lot of intensity into the duels, relying on Franck Honorat’s liveliness and Steve Mounié’s header to create danger. It was the Beninese international who opened the score by converting a penalty after a hand foul by Castello Lukeba (1-0, 27^and††

Even though he wasn’t irresistible in the game, OL had opportunities. A lot even. But Les Gones were terribly inefficient, like a sometimes inaccurate Moussa Dembélé (44^and), sometimes beaten by a very good Marco Bizot (38^and48^and59^and† The former Celtic striker eventually cheated on the Dutch goalkeeper later in the match (1-1, 72^and†, who then predicted a final quarter of an hour in favor of the Rhodaniens. For that, Irvin should have squeezed Cardona shut and not given him the chance to correct Julian Pollersbeck from a corner with a header from the nearest post (2-1, 74^and†† Romain Faivre – who returned to the land of his first exploits – and his teammates never came back. And Tino Kadewere ended the evening by missing the target from close range (90^and+3).

While Lyon remains well away from the top 5 (8^and), Brest reached the bar of 42 points, probably synonymous with maintenance. Hat (round).
