Strasbourg put in an impressive performance, defeating classy Lyon 3-1 at the Stade de la Meinau. Diego Moreira was the standout player, orchestrating a crucial Ligue 1 victory.
Lyon came into the game in formidable form, sitting third in Ligue 1 on an impressive five-game winning streak. Eighth-placed Strasbourg looked to build on recent results.
The match started cautiously. Strasbourg, however, gradually increased the pressure, using their home support to test the visiting defence.
The tie was broken in the 37th minute. Diego Moreira showed exceptional skill, providing a precise assist to Martial Godo. Godo fired a powerful shot past Lyon goalkeeper Dominik Greif.
Strasbourg took their slender one-goal lead into the break. Lyon’s defense looked vulnerable, needing to regroup and find a more penetrating approach in the second half.
The second half began with renewed vigor from the home side. They quickly doubled their lead in the 52nd minute when Samir El Mourabet’s clever pass found Diego Moreira. Moreira hit the ball with experience.
Tensions flared minutes later, leading to a flurry of yellow cards. Lyon’s Paulo Fonseca and Reiss Kluivert, along with Strasbourg’s Andrew Omobamidele, were booked around the 57th minute.
Lyon found a crucial lifeline in the 59th minute. Corentin Tolisso, assisted by Roman Yaremchuk, converted a chance to reduce the gap. Young striker Endrick also received a yellow card soon after.
Strasbourg, however, remained resolute and secured victory in the 83rd minute. After a foul in the box, Joaquin Panichelli confidently slotted home a penalty, restoring Strasbourg’s two-goal cushion.
Strasbourg’s offensive prowess was clear in the statistics. They recorded 13 shots, with 7 on goal, and an impressive xG of 2.07. Lyon, on the other hand, managed just 4 shots, 2 on target and a low xG of 0.28.
The two teams remarkably shared 50% of the ball possession, highlighting a midfield battle.
This crucial 3-1 victory sees Strasbourg strengthen their position in the top half of Ligue 1. For Lyon, the defeat breaks their impressive winning streak, which may affect their quest to reach the top two.
