Borrowed in the first period and forced to run against the very well-established weedy 3-5-2, the Lyonnais relied on their goalkeeper Patouillet for an hour to avoid bleeding. In particular in front of the Caen striker poison, Norman Bassette, author of four shots but always defeated by the goalkeeper trained at Domtac, in particular on this header pushed back on his post on a corner (24th) or these duels won (31st, 52nd) .
Heroic patouillet in the Lyon cage, the flash of El Arouch
But once their leader El Arouch was put back in the heart of the game, OL started to point the tip of their nose. And after a duel lost by Lagha in front of Obé, Mohamed El Arouch, served full axis by Degorce, pulled out all the stops to hit full axis and finish under the bar at 20 m (1-0, 62nd). An advantage that the Gones were unable to hold, with this late equalizer from the incoming Niakaté, who followed well after another stop by Patouillet in front of Hafid (1-1, 82nd).

So decisive and strong on his line, the OL goalkeeper preserved his team by fending off a close-range shot from Verhaeghe on the last chance corner (90th). On penalties, probably got into the head of the best Caennais over the course of the game, Mathieu Patouillet saw Norman Bassette take his attempt too far when all the Gones converted, making Olympique Lyonnais exult, author of an XXL course and emerged heroic in Saint-Denis.
