And now Lyon is breathing again, at least a little. Just enough to let out a cry of rage, like Corentin Tolisso after the final whistle, relieved to finally taste victory this season. OL scored their very first success of the 2023/2024 financial year against Rennes this Sunday, November 12 (1-0).
But it was tedious. Rennes, reduced to 10 against 11 after the red card received by Guéla Doué in the 5th minute, offered almost nothing at home. And OL, a sick team, showed off its collective limits. The victory was sluggish, but it finally came, after 10 matches without seeing the color.
Sael Kumbedi found Jake O’Brien’s head on a good cross (68th), and that’s about all that is to be remembered from this game. And certainly not the monumental bloodshed by Bruno Génésio at half-time against the Lyon staff.
“ We hope it’s a new beginning », Allowed himself to savor the Rhodanian Maxence Caqueret, at the microphone of Canal+ after the meeting. If the content casts doubt on such hopes, the accounting situation has improved slightly. Les Gones are five points behind Strasbourg, the first team outside the danger zone at the bottom of the ranking. The fact remains that Lyon will face Lille, Lens, Marseille and Monaco among its next five championship matches. So every point is welcome.
