The “Mother of Battles” in the history of French football ended up in her hands Lion!
In the biggest derby of hatred in Ligue 1, the “Lyons” prevailed with score 1-0 Saint Etienne at “Groupama Stadium” for the 11th matchday of the championship!
In a game with plenty of intensity and passion, the hosts were superior for most of the match, rightfully reaching the three points. The only goal of the match was scored by Alexandre Lacazette in the 29th minute, when in stoppage time following a corner, Tolisso found the French forward with a scissors kick, who up close with the knee sent the ball into the net!
In fact, a little earlier, Lacazette had two great moments to open the scoring for his team, when in the 25th minute and in a few seconds he saw Larsone beat him impressively, while, a little later, the crossbar denied him the goal!
In the replay, the “Stephanois” tried to re-enter the match, but without being able to threaten with claims, apart from perhaps the phase of Sissoko who was defeated in a 4-a-4 by Peri!
With this win, Lyon moved up to 5th in the table with 18 points and -2 behind third placed Marseille, with Saint-Etienne remaining in the relegation zone (16th) with 10 points.
