After defeats by Rennes and Lille on Saturday, the OL team may be back within three points of the best European venues. In a completely crazy match at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday, Lyon scored a valuable victory (5-4), with a crazy comeback in the last minutes. Eli Wahi, on fire, made the difference after half-time, scoring four times. But Lyonnais believed it to the end and pushed ahead in the final moments.
Match: 5-4
OL It was an unreal Sunday afternoon. In the first half, it was hard to imagine nine goals in the game, and two players finishing with four goals. The start of the match was for Montpellier after its impressive victory in Monaco (4-0) last Sunday. However, it was Lacazette who opened the scoring half an hour into the match, concluding a fine feat between Ryan Shirky and Brady Barkola. But before the break, the meeting showed the beginnings of an individual scenario: Johan Lebenant scored two fouls, giving two goals to Eli Wahi. All in 1 minute and 40 seconds.
Upon leaving the dressing room, Wahi did not stop, scoring two more goals in the 51st and 55th minutes. But Laurent Blanc’s men seemed determined to grab a European place this season. While the fans unfurled the banners and Johan Lebenant was whistled for his departure, Alexandre Lacazette shrunk the mark (60th). Dejan Lovren certainly got up on the field in the 70th minute with a superb header. And then the match plunged into madness: Lacazette gave himself a hat-trick and equalized with an excellent pass from Barcola. As we were heading towards OL’s insufficient equalizer, though unexpected, Lacazette again caused a penalty. He is hooked by Christopher Julien at the center. The number 10 does not waver and gives victory to Lyon at the Groupama Stadium in Merger.
Player: Eli oracle killer
It’s hard to choose between the two players who scored a quadruple. But Eli Wahi flew over the meeting, he flew in full for fifteen minutes, in which he scored his four goals. From the start of the match, the Montpellier forward was very active up front, doubling calls after the overs of Arnaud Nordin and Vitot Moassa. After the two blunders made by Johan Lebennant in midfield, he was ruthless. An unacademic first shot from the pointer to open the scoring, then a cross hit by Diomande and then Anthony Lopez, who ended up in the side netting.

At 20, Eli Wahi has now netted 17 Ligue 1 goals this season.
After the break, Lovren falls into the race, earning a penalty, which he converts. Finally, to show off his full attacking palette in the match, he dribbled past the Portuguese goalkeeper to bag his first Ligue 1 quadruple since Kylian Mbappe in 2018.
