Ligue’s cup. Lyon

23:52 – Summary of the match

For this first semi-final of the League Cup, the show was not frankly at the rendezvous … The Lille were generally dominant during the whole meeting and also opened the brand. Following a ball on Osimhen, cleared by Marçal at the entrance to the surface, Renato Sanches resumed in first intention with the left foot and deceived Tatarusanu (1-0, 12th). But a few minutes later, five to be exact, a fairly rude hand fault by Gabriel on a Cornet cross restarted OL immediately. After his failure against Nantes, Moussa Dembélé set the record straight and equalized (1-1, 17th). For the rest of this first act … Not much to get your teeth into it with a lack of rhythm, opportunities and play quite simply. The second period offered exactly the same show with a match that purred with a rather distressing technical weakness even if Lille put much more pressure than Lyon. The match “got carried away” finally at the end of the match with the personal exploit of Aouar who resisted three defenders at the level of 30 meters left axis before carrying out a floating strike at half height to deliver all the Groupama Stadium (2- 1, 85e). But Lyon made the same mistake as the Lille in the first period by conceding a penalty a few minutes later on a tackle poorly controlled by Rafael on Bamba. Full of cool and with a cheeky technical gesture, Loïc Rémy, trained at OL, performed a panenka to equalize (2-2, 93rd). The half was played in penalties and in this little game, OL therefore fared best thanks to a stop by Tatarusanu on Bamba and the missed by Renato Sanches (4-3 A.T.A.B).
