Back in their lair in Balmont, Nicolas Le Bellec’s players received the US Boulogne CO for this meeting of the 31th day which promised to be a cleaver match.
However, the Lyonnais completely missed their first period. Id Azza’s first alert on an Eto’o center stopped by Kacou was only a first example of the defensive wait-and-see attitude of the locals (6 ′). The same Id Azza also opened the scoring a few minutes later with an acrobatic return to a cross at the far post from Duterte (0-1, 10 ′). Even if the Rhone players tried to react, they still lacked precision, like the head of N’Diaye on a corner from Ezikian (11 ′) or the missed cross from Nomel (13 ′). They even saw the Northerners make the break following a cross from Id Azza on which Kacou did not appreciate the trajectory of the ball, allowing Okou to push it to the back of the net (0-2, 25 ‘).
Fortunately, it was the transformed Lyonnais who found the ground in the second half. More urgent and more concentrated, they put the Boulonnais in difficulty from the first minutes. A renewal that materialized after a ride from Dekoke on his left side who, after eliminating 6 players, served Tounkara on a plateau which scored the first goal Sang & Or (1-2, 49 ′). Despite a regained mastery, it was not until the last moments of the meeting to see again a scoring opportunity for the players of Nicolas Le Bellec and on a cross from Fadhloun, it was once again Dekoke who put his family back in the right path thanks to a well-fitting inside of the foot (2-2, 87 ′). A miraculous return which passed a few centimeters to be swept away but Joseph, well found in depth, sent his powerful strike on Kacou’s bar (90 ‘+ 2)!
A draw that still leaves a tiny hope for the Lyonnais to be able to get their heads out of the water on the cusp of their trip to Le Mans on Friday.
