At the end of the 3rd day of L1, OL won on the wire against OM (1-0) in the “Olympico” (0-0).
Lyon had the fangs. Received two out of two since the resumption of the championship, the players of Paulo Fonseca were keen to achieve a new convincing performance on Sunday evening, at the end of the third day of Ligue 1, during the reception of Marseille, as part of the 126th “Olympico” in history. It is done for the Lyonnais, who had to wait for the last minutes of the game to make the difference against an OM quickly reduced to ten (1-0).
Lyon fists on the table
While the Phocaeans had started well, showing themselves incisive in particular through the Ivorian recruit Hamed Junior Traoré, the Rhodanians rose in power as the minutes, to push another Marseille recruit, CJ Egan-Riley, this time, to the fault. At the half hour of play, the English defender, scuttled following a technical approximation by Leonardo Balerdi, “had to” mow, without moods, Malick Fofana, who was going to the goal after taking advantage of the Bourde of the Argentinian captain. Result ? Direct red card drawn by François Letexier. Already in difficulty in the game, the men of Roberto de Zerbi were then condemned to play for more than an hour in inferiority.

Marseille, still the bad luck
And what had to happen … happened. After resisting a long time defensively, the Phocaeans fell in love with the very last moments, following a slight scraper in their surface. Very in sight in this meeting, the American of OL Tanner Tessmann managed to slightly deviating from the head a long ball, allowing the Czech recruit Pavel Sulc to come to put pressure on Leo Balerdi and Geronimo Rulli, pushing the first to his camp (87th, 1-0). Disappointed on his sidelines and powerless in the face of the cruel scenario, the Marseille coach Roberto de Zerbi could only note the offensive weakness of his team, unable to endanger the Lyon goalkeeper Rémy Descamps. Inevitably, OM – Already in turmoil for two weeks with the “Rabiot affair” – Wipe a second defeat in three L1 matches. The times are hard on the canebière.
Still very active on the summer transfer market, the Phocaeans will still have to make adjustments to quickly garner points in the league and to be in the best way in the Champions League, on September 16, on the lawn of Real Madrid. For their part, the Lyonnais – Who took advantage of this “Olympico” to once again pay tribute to their illustrious center-forward Bernard Lacombe, who died on June 17, and their goalscorer Georges Mikautadze, leaving for Villarreal- Display a flawless at the start of the season. The “Gones” are equal to PSG points, still a leader.
