While he came close to scoring in the Europa League match on Thursday, this time in the French top flight a cross fell to him and he headed the ball into the net from practically the same spot.
Schulz scored his sixth Ligue 1 goal in a 1-0 win against Le Havre on Sunday and confirmed that he is a summer signing for the club that is really paying off.
In total, he collected seven goals and five assists in both competitions. None of the teammates can boast of that in the fall.
“I just don’t think, this time I put my head into it and then just looked to see if it went into the goal,” laughed the native of Karlovy Vary in the post-match interview.

“Šulc is something between a player number nine and ten on the pitch. Really like Lyon’s Thomas Müller,” Lyon podcaster Micka wrote about him on the X network.
And one of the rock fans of Lyon agrees with him. “He’s clinical, effective and deadly in the final third of the pitch, I haven’t seen anything like it since Müller,” Camso user also recalled the German footballer and world champion, who scored 150 goals for Bayern in the Bundesliga.
After recovering from an injury from the beginning of November, the twenty-four-year-old Czech international firmly established himself in the starting line-up.
“I basically fulfill the role of a central striker, which suits me. But it’s a very tough competition, the opponents’ defense is difficult to break through. Fortunately, we have a good team. I’m glad that I can be a decisive player, whether I score goals or pass on them,” Šulc boasts.
In the French competition, Lyon is currently in fifth place, even leading the Europa League standings.
