Lyon defeated Clermont in the Coupe de la Ligue match on Sunday afternoon, securing their first win of the season and climbing up the standings.
The game started off evenly with both teams having good chances to score early on. However, Lyon's goal came just moments after halftime when they scored through a stunning strike by Antoine Griezmann. The French forward made his way past Clermont goalkeeper Jérémy Laporte and fired into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead.
In the second half, Lyon continued to dominate the game as they were able to create more opportunities. They managed to score twice in the opening minute of the third period when Lacazette and Tolisso struck goals. Lacazette was instrumental in Lyon's victory as he headed home a penalty kick from a corner kick.
The goal was particularly impressive as it came after Lyon had already been awarded a penalty kick for handball in injury time. It was also the first time that Lyon has scored a winner since the start of the season.
Despite Lyon's dominance, Clermont still had some quality players who worked hard throughout the game. They eventually fought back to level the scores in the 84th minute when they scored through a header from a corner kick. However, it was too late as Lyon secured their first win of the season.
Overall, this was a great performance for Lyon and they will be looking to continue winning games like this as they look towards a promising start to the season. The team is now firmly in the top ten of the table and they should have plenty of confidence going into the league opener against Nice on Saturday.
