Overview of the match Lyon - Monaco:

The long-awaited Ligue 1 match between Lyon and Monaco took place at the Groupama Stadium, with both teams hungry for a win. The first half was an even battle of attacks and defence and the score was 1-1 at half-time. Monaco started the game with a penalty awarded by W. Ben Yedder in the 2nd minute, but Lyon's defence held them back for most of the first half. However, in the 31st minute, Monaco player A. Golovin received a yellow card, giving Lyon the opportunity to open the scoring. In the 38th minute, Lacazette scored for Lyon, tying the score. Lyon took the lead in the second half, with M. Kackeré scoring in the 57th minute.

This put Monaco at a disadvantage, and in an attempt to turn the situation around, they made four substitutions in the 64th and 71st minutes, swapping their leading players for fresh forces. Despite the changes, Lyon continued to gain momentum and in the 78th minute R. Cherki scored the final goal, securing the lead over Monaco. The match ended with a 3-1 win for Lyon, who earned a well-deserved victory. This match was an exciting and hard-fought affair, showcasing the skills and commitment of both teams. Lyon's strong defending in the first half and a burst of energy in the second paid off, securing their place in the league. Monaco, on the other hand, will have to come back stronger in the next game to make up for this defeat.

In the next round, the opponents will be Lyon versus Reims and Rennes versus Monaco.
