Goals: Lacazette (22e), Benrahma (26e) & M. Fofana (84e) for OL // Ben Yedder (2e & 60e) for ASM
History will remember that it was Malick Fofana, 19, who gave Paris Saint-Germain a 12e title of champion of France. By scoring the winning goal against Monaco (3-2) this Sunday, allowing OL to sign another victory full of panache and continue their fantastic comeback, the young Lyonnais also officially extinguished the suspense as to the identity of the winner of the championship, the capital club (70 points) now having 12 points ahead of the Monegasque runner-up (58) with three days to go. Suspense, however, remains almost everywhere in the race for Europe. Lyon is, at present, only two points from 6e Lens, traveling to Marseille this evening. And Monaco only has a lead of two points over Brest, and three points over Lille.
Ben Yedder scored the hat-trick
The fog of smoke bombs had not yet had time to dissipate when Wissam Ben Yedder, at the conclusion of a clear movement in the Lyon area, launched the match on the same bases as Rennes-Brest who had just conclude (0-1, 2e). The rest was almost as crazy, since after the goal of the break refused to Folarin Balogun on a work of the candy Maghnes Akliouche (11e), and a minasse from Youssouf Fofana (19e), Monaco was turned around in four minutes by its host, who decided to take control. First, Alexandre Lacazette planted his 16e goal of the season in Ligue 1, after a cross from Saïd Benrahma on which Radosław Majecki was deceived by the ghost duel Kehrer-Matić (1-1, 22e). Then, on an improbable delivery from Corentin Tolisso following a serve from Clinton Mata, the untenable Benrahma lit up everything in composure (2-1, 26e).
After the blower and the three changes made by Adi Hütter, ASM found some color and OL did not manage for very long. After once again putting Anthony Lopes to work (56e), Youssouf Fofana left a cake for Ben Yedder, author of a high-class header for the equalizer (2-2, 60e). Not varnished on a cross shot flirting with the amount (62e), scorer with a superb right volley before the flag goes up (78e), WBY was not entitled to his hat-trick. Entering during this time, Cherki missed a golden ball (72e) but the Groupama Stadium will not hold it against him: in the Pierre Sage timeLacazette launched magnificently against Malick Fofana, who did not tremble to go to the end and line up Majecki (3-2, 84e). The latter was then helped by his post, in front of the General (87e). Lyon, from now on, it’s a minimum of three goals per match. The quota is respected.
