Fans had to wait ten minutes for the first goal scored in the French championship season. From the center of the penalty area, Brazilian footballer Tete hit the main object of the game with his left foot into the left corner of the goal, giving the home team a 1-0 lead.
Ten minutes later, “Lyon” doubled its advantage, converting a standard situation into a goal. “Lyon” captain Alexandre Lacazette doubled his team’s advantage by sending the ball accurately into the bottom corner of the goal.
The home team’s safe path to victory was undermined by Anthony Lopez’s dismissal in the middle of the first half. Just a few minutes later, “Ajaccio” got one goal back, with Tomas Mangani getting a good shot, thus restoring the one goal difference.
“Ajaccio” sowed its numerical advantage during the compensation period of the first half, when Romain Hamouma also received a red patch and the teams marched to the dressing rooms with the same formations again – ten players each.
In the remaining time of the match, none of the units were able to take advantage of the opportunities, thus the game ended with “Lyon” winning 2:1.
