The Lyonnais completely bounced back with a clear victory against Lorient on Sunday evening (2-0) at the Groupama Stadium. Before this crucial success, Lyon had not won any of their last nine matches in all competitions (5 draws and 4 defeats) after winning each of the previous 13.
Initially invisible in the first half, the Rhodians changed their demeanor after the break, driven by the coaching of their coach Paulo Fonseca. Left on the bench at kick-off, Endrick and Corentin Tolisso completely altered the course of the match.
Endrick at the origin of the two Lyon goals
Stung by the criticisms of his coach, the young Brazilian, courted by Real Madrid, was at the origin of the two Lyon goals: first with his subtle center, Roman Yaremchuk headed in the opening goal (1-0, 49th), scoring his first goal in Ligue 1 in the process.
Then captain Tolisso, also a substitute at the beginning, was quick enough to follow up on a saved shot from Endrick (2-0, 56th).
Lyon, who showed nothing before the break, thus took everything in just a few minutes, while Lorient did not deserve to. OL was also helped by their goalkeeper Dominik Greif, crucial with his saves, especially just before halftime. With this victory, the Lyonnais climb back into the top 5, just two points behind Lille.
