The promoted Saint-Etienne was still too green for the derby. Almost three years after their last confrontation in Ligue 1 in January 2022, Lyon and Saint-Etienne met again at Groupama Stadium, Sunday November 10. And it was the Gones, largely dominant, who won thanks to the single goal of Alexandre Lacazette (29th). OL made a jump in the standings and moved back into the top 5, Saint-Etienne remained first in the play-off (16th).
The teammates of Zuriko Davitashvili, the only truly dangerous offensive player, suffered throughout the match against the Rhone offensives, led by Malick Fofana and Rayan Cherki. With a mischievous knee goal, Lacazette became Lyon’s second top scorer in derby history with six goals.
The Stéphanois had a few clear chances, but they negotiated them poorly and OL could have taken the opportunity to make the break through Ernest Nuamah if the goal had not been refused for a handball from Georges Mikautadze (84th). At home, the Lyonnais’ streak of invincibility against Saint-Etienne continues: Les Gones have not lost for more than 10 years against the Greens (a 2-1 defeat on March 30, 2014). At that time, Les Gones were still playing at the Stade de Gerland but Alexandre Lacazette was already there.
