With a composition close to the eleven type that Peter Bosz could offer at the start of the school year, the Lyonnais were defeated by Anderlecht. Picked cold from the 2nd minute of play, the Gones did not manage to come back to score in the first period. Despite attempts by Toko Ekambi (53rd) and Alexandre Lacazette (66th), OL remained fanny against the Belgian goalkeeper, and even conceded two additional goals (61st, 81st). The crossbar found by Delcroix (51st) saved OL from a heavier defeat.
Olympique Lyonnais will then travel, for double confrontations, to Willem II and Feyenoord in the Netherlands, before meeting Inter Milan.
