The player: Islam Slimani
The Algerian striker, African champion, could not have started his season better by scoring a goal, which is more important for OL.
Arrived in Lyon in January last season (from Leicester), Slimani, 33, had only scored 3 goals in 17 Ligue 1 games, far enough from the statistics posted in Monaco the previous season, with 9 goals and 8 assists.
His association with Wissam Ben Yedder had done wonders on the Rock.
Perhaps Peter Bosz will manage to put him in similar conditions this season.
The number: 4
Faced with Brest, Peter Bosz, deprived of several holders, had been forced to line up four players under 19: Rayane Cherki, Lukeba, Gusto and Keita.
Indeed, Da Silva and Henrique were suspended, Reine-Adelaide and Cornet injured and Guimaraes at the Olympics.

The reaction: Houssem Aouar
(at the microphone of Prime Video)
“You can't say that this is a good point taken ... This is just the beginning.
We keep learning a new philosophy, whatever the coach asks of us.
We could have done better in the use of the ball in the first period.
It cost us a goal and it's a shame.
We came back well thanks to the newcomers.
We are happy to have been able to score this goal even if we wanted the three points at the start. "
