After a match… rodeo, the Lyon made the big upset and prevailed 4-3 her Strasbourgcelebrating their first win in this year’s Ligue 1!
The team from Alsace took advantage of the tragic mistakes in the defense of the “Liones”, where they initially took the lead only in the 3rd minute, while in the 58th minute they made the score 1-3. However, from that point on his opponent Olympiakou in the Europa League he stepped on the gas and with a big protagonist Orban, who came off the bench and scored two goals, scored three goals in 14 minutes for the overthrow!
It wasn’t until the 3rd minute that the Alsatians opened the scoring, as Nanassi took advantage of the tragic mistakes of the “Liones” defense and scored unmolested. It was then Lyon’s turn to step up the pressure and after Mikautanze’s chances, Tolisso equalized in the 44th minute, grabbing the rebound from Lacazette’s cross.
Lyon’s many defensive mistakes … returned in the second half, with Strasbourg “striking” with two goals in ten minutes (48′-58′) and taking a two-goal lead (1-3). However, the “Lyons” found the answer initially with Maitland-Niles, as in the 61st minute he got a new… rebound from the crossbar of Lacazette, who in the 65th minute gave the assist to Orban for the tie (3-3)!
The hosts continued at the same stormy pace and with Orban’s nailed header in the 72nd minute, they took the lead! From that point on, Lyon kept possession, but nothing changed, taking the final 4-3 win.
This was Lyon’s first win in this year’s championship after 0-2, while Strasbourg, on the other hand, experienced her first defeat and remained at 4 points.
