THE BALL – Benzema returned to Lyon but goals… only from penalties (France)

1-1 draw between Lyon and Nice in the opening match of the 15th day of Ligue 1, marked by the presence on the pitch of Karim Benzema to show the Ballon d’Or to the fans of the club where he was trained and from which he was transferred to Real Madrid in 2009.

However, the 34-year-old striker’s presence did not serve as inspiration and the goals only came from the penalty spot.

First for the away team, in the 38th minute, with Nicolas Pépé, in the second, when the referee ordered the shot to be retaken, saved on the first occasion by Portuguese goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. For Lyon, very close to the end, of Lacazette (89 ‘).

With this draw, the teams remain separated by one point in the table (21st and 20th), with Lyon in 8th place.
