OL continues its path of the cross in Ligue 1. In crisis since the start of the season, on the field and behind the scenes, the Rhone club lost during a shock at the bottom of the table against Clermont (1-2 ). The Lyonnais, who have still not won a single match, occupy last place in the standings after nine days.

OL’s catastrophic start

In this match of fear, OL quickly became disillusioned. His impressive defensive feverishness was punished after only ten minutes by Cham, scoring with a header after a lot of work from Nicholson (0-1, 10th). A contentious opening of the score, the Var not sanctioning the control of the two arms of the decisive passer at the start of the action. Furious after this decision, the Gones did not know how to react. And took another blow to the head, when Magnin came to deceive Lopes with a sublime curling shot from mid-distance (0-2, 35th).

The Gones react too late

In reaction to his team’s catastrophic first period. Fabio Grosso significantly revised his plans from the restart, making a triple change. Cherki, back in the eleven, was notably invited to join the bench, after a very laborious performance. Tolisso went the opposite way. And quickly rewarded the start of his team, when his center was deflected by Ogier into the back of the net (1-2, 52nd). Much more consistent and enterprising, the Lyonnais clearly dominated the second act, but they were never able to realize their opportunities to equalize. Like a cross shot from Diawara, or a header from Tolisso narrowly pushed back by Diaw (90th + 2).
