Peter Bosz failed to win with Olympique Lyon for the second time in a row on Sunday. In the opening match against Stade Brest (1-1), LOL still a point safe, but against Angers even that was not in it. Lyon was mercilessly dried off when visiting the number thirteen of last season: 3-0. The pressure on Bosz will immediately increase by one point from two matches.
Lyon already had a hard time in the first half. The seventeen-year-old Mohamed-Ali Cho in particular caused Bosz’s defense major problems and the 1-0 deficit at halftime was deserved. That came about after twenty minutes when Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes missed a cross from Jimmy Cabot, after which Sofiane Boufal could slide the ball from a difficult corner into an empty goal: 1-0.
It wasn’t easy for Lyon either, because Karl Toko Ekambi should have signed for the equalizer just before half-time. The attacker seemed to be able to head the ball into an empty goal after a good assumption, but aimed wide. Bosz showed his dissatisfaction by making three substitutions in the break. Yet Lyon received another blow in the 53rd minute, when Marcelo clumsily tapped the ball into his own goal with an unfortunate return pass: 2-0.
The disaster afternoon finally took shape for Lyon twelve minutes later, when Maxwel Cornet was too late with his tackle to smother Angers’ counterattack. The attacker received his second yellow card and thus presented the visitors with an impossible task to come back. The final blow came fifteen minutes before time from Azzedine Ounahi, who simply placed the ball in the corner from outside the penalty area: 3-0.
