Sports writing – The Brazilian on loan from Real Madrid, Endrick, gave the victory and qualification for the round of 16 of the French Cup, in his debut with Lyon, who beat Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy stadium in the town of Villeneuve d’Ascq (1-2).
The South American attacker, who arrived days ago from Madrid to the French town, where he will remain until the end of the season, made his debut as a starter and scorer for Portuguese Paulo Fonseca’s team.
Lyon’s offensive hope came out at the top of the attack and after four minutes he was able to score, with a shot to the left post of Arnaud Bodart’s goal.
The goal came on the brink of half-time and in the end it was decisive, the one that gave his team the pass in the French Cup. Lyon took the lead one minute into the game with Afonso Moreira’s goal after receiving a ball from Remy Deschamps
But after half an hour the local team equalized with Nathan Ngoy’s goal after a cross from Amar Haraldsson.
It was in the 42nd minute when Endrick scored his first goal in France in an action that began with a pass from the left by Pavel Sulc, which Corentin Tolisso extended inside the area and which the Brazilian took advantage of first, who beat Bodart.
His goal marked Lyon’s qualification. The Brazilian coincided with Kylian Mbappe’s brother, Ethan Mbappe, for twelve minutes. Substitute, Ethan came onto the field in the 59th minute, instead of Felix Correira. Endrick was replaced in the 72nd minute by Adam Karabec after being decisive for his team in his first game with Lyon. JS
