Lyon continues its good streak. The Rhone club has achieved a third consecutive victory in the championship by beating Auxerre 3-2 on Saturday, April 25, at the Groupama Stadium. With these three additional points, OL temporarily takes the 3rd place in Ligue 1, guaranteeing direct qualification for the Champions League, and puts pressure on Lille who can catch up if they win against Paris FC on Sunday (5:15 pm).
Long challenged by the 16th in Ligue 1, Lyon could rely on Corentin Tolisso to make the difference. Substituted in the 58th minute with the score tied at 1-1, the midfielder first gave his team the lead (2-1, 66th minute) before providing an assist to Roman Yaremchuck for the decisive goal (3-1, 71st minute). Auxerre, who troubled Lyon towards the end of the match with a goal by Bryan Okoh (3-2, 88th minute), suffered their 16th loss of the season and remain in the relegation playoff spot, four points behind 15th place Nice, who will face Marseille on Sunday (8:45 pm).
