At a Groupama stadium that wasn’t quite full due to the Bad Gones boycott (the North Curve was administratively closed anyway), we had a fairly rhythmic first period with no fewer than 16 tries (9 for OL, 7 for Clermont Foot) but no goal. . Mory Diaw, the OL goalkeeper was the first to be called on by catching a header from Tetê (VI). Then Carl Toko Ekambi took his chance, made up well by Alexandre Lacazette, but did not find the frame (twelfth).
Clermont’s first big chance came on the 18th after Khawi’s free-kick, which found Rachani’s header, was converted by youngster Combede, allowing Anthony López to warm his gloves. Johan Gastin also took advantage of his chance, but his long shot was not strong enough to deceive the Portuguese goalkeeper (19), then a half-volley attempt, also from a distance, by Saifuddin Khaoui was not in the goal (21).
OL got a great chance with this three against two that ended badly by Tetê who finished off Florent Ogier and then Diaw before seeing his shot fired by Borges (34). Well Combi, which was fired by Titi, saw his powerful shot blocked by Diao’s hand (44). Then the latter put Shirky in the checkbox (44th place). Lyonnais pushed at the end of the period but neither Tetê (45+1) nor Toko Ekambi (45+2) could be effective.
Clermontois returned to success
After the break, Lyon again launched an attack on Diao’s goal. Shrek’s free kick found Toko Ekambi’s header, who again escaped from the frame (57th). Andrik responded within a minute with a wonderful shot, which Lopez (58) hit a corner kick. Cherki, without a doubt Lyonnais most inspiring (see elsewhere)He took his chance from 20 yards out, but his deflected shot went just wide of the goal.
Then Diomande did not find the frame on a free kick from Cherky (69th). The match finally turned in favor of the visitors: Andrik entered the place (81), and Jryun Kei won a penalty after three minutes when his cross was converted by Lukiba (84). Sham was responsible for Lopez taking the wrong foot to change the penalty (86th). Unable to win in six matches, Auvernate returned to success and put some doubts in the minds of the Rhodanians.
