The Fabio Grosso era begins with a defeat for Lyon in Brest on Saturday. The Brest club established itself as the surprising new leader of Ligue 1, while Nantes signed a second victory in a row in a festival of goals against Lorient (5-3), as part of the 6th day.
Two stadiums, two atmospheres. In the evening at the Francis-Le Blé stadium, the score was scoreless for a long time between, on the one hand, the Lyonnais still convalescing after the dismissal of Laurent Blanc and the arrival of the Italian coach Grosso, and on the other hand the Brestois unable to make it happen. their overwhelming domination.
Éric Roy’s men had stumbled on the bar (24th), or failed to push the ball into the empty goal at the far post (61st), and it was thought that they would be cursed to the end by hitting the post (87th). But Mounié, who came on, took a cross a few seconds later with an angry header.
Brest thus confirms its good start to the season and becomes the surprising provisional leader of Ligue 1 (13 points), ahead of Nice (12 points) and Monaco (11 points). The disaster continues in Lyon, 16th in Ligue 1, with only two points.
Five goals from Nantes
The match was much more spectacular at the La Beaujoire stadium between Nantes and Lorient. The Canaries were a real success by scoring five goals, but the Merlus were not left out with three goals.
The latter opened the scoring with their young nugget Eli Kroupi (6th), but never led again after the equalizer from Matthis Abline (42nd). Nantes led 3-1 thanks to Cömert (46th), then Mohamed, who converted a sublime long-range free kick (55th).
At 3-2 (Romain Faivre, 75th), the Nantes residents continued to drive the crazy pace of this match, without any real midfield battle, thanks to goals from Mollet (83rd) and Simon (90th+9). In the meantime, Tosin (85th) had maintained the suspense almost until the end. The Nantes residents thus have a second victory and rank 6th in Ligue 1 with 8 points. Lorient remains stuck in 14th place with their six points.
