There is no end to her… historical descent Lion!
In yet another disappointing, as well as heartbreaking, performance, Fabio Grosso’s side were also beaten in the Ligue 1 tail-ender derby by 2-1 from Clermont at the ‘Groupama Stadium’, staying at the… bottom of the leaderboard of Champions after 9 matches!
The visitors “shocked” Lyon early on when they took a two-goal lead in the first half, thanks to goals from Cham and Manien in the 10th and 35th minutes. The hosts reduced the score with an own goal from Ozier in the 52nd minute, however, despite all efforts in the finale, they could not get the point of the tie.
So, the Lyon remained in 18th and last place with just three points and no win in the league (0-3-6), with Clermont rising to 5 points.
