At the end of a match marked by an incident and an arbitral controversy, the Greens dominated their Lyon rival, this Sunday, in Geoffroy-Guichard.
An evening like no other. One more for OL, which has just lived a terrible week. Three days after the elimination ô so frustrating conceded against Manchester United in the Europa League, the Gones lost big this Sunday in Ligue 1, by bowing on the neighboring lawn of Saint-Etienne (2-1). A derby interrupted for almost forty-five minutes at the end of the first period, following the jet of a coin on the skull of an assistant referee. The so -called Mehdi Rahmouni, struck a few minutes, finally resumed his senses, letting the different parties agree on a resumption of the meeting. The umpteenth episode that French football would have gone well.
Stassin hurts ol
Their reaction was scrutinized very closely after the tragedy of Old Trafford. Aligned in a system that is not very readable at the start, the Gones suffered from the entrance to this derby, facing the pace printed by without complex Greens. And ASSE was quick to make its good start to a reality. Alone in the middle of a revised and spectator defense, Stassin capsized the cauldron, opening the head of the head (1-0, 10th). Very effective in 2025, the young Stéphanois striker almost died his beautiful evening, when his dangerous sole on Tolisso was sanctioned with a logical red card (23rd). But François Letexier, called by the Var, returned to his first decision after watching the images. A questionable choice, especially since the 2018 world champion had to leave the lawn on a stretcher following this action. One of the strong images of a derby still so tense.

A reaction Lyon, the Greens hold out
It was not until the second period to see the OL display more consistency. Passed near the correctional on an opportunity spoiled by Davitashvili shortly before the long interruption (36th), the Rhone club clearly increased the level. Well helped by the entries of Almada (46th) and Fofana (64th). But in this crazy evening, the Stéphanoise self -denial was rewarded. Much less dominating during the second act, ASSE made the ASSE to defend. And believed to take shelter when Stassin, the man of the match, offered himself the double, deceiving Descamps with a beautiful rolled up (2-0, 67th). The reduction in the gap signed Tessmann (2-1, 76th) immediately revived the suspense of a last quarter of an unbreakable hour for the cauldron. The Greens have finally held good and have offered their first derby since 2019. In addition to relaunching themselves in the maintenance race, the Stéphanois hurt their rivals, which lack the opportunity to return to third place in the ranking.
