Lyon climbs on the podium
The Lyonnais achieved a major feat by defeating Stade Toulousain this Sunday (25-19).
Defeated by a valiant Lyon team, the Toulousains were undefeated for 5 months and a home defeat against Bayonne (32-38).
A second consecutive success for Lyon after the masterful victory obtained in Biarritz (5-40) which allows Pierre Mignoni's men to remain firmly anchored on the third step of the podium.
The Berdeu-Couilloud hinge pulled out the game
Best attack in the championship with 192 points scored, Lyon took the upper hand over the best defense of the Top 14. A high-level performance, driven by the success of the opener Léo Berdeu, and the decisive try of scrum-half Baptiste Couilloud.
Léo Berdeu, the best director in the league, proved to his advantage by succeeding 4 of his 5 attempts (10 points).
Baptiste Couilloud, the top scorer in the Top 14 (6 tries), allowed the Lyonnais to widen the gap after returning from the locker room by being the author of a saving try, the 22nd of the season for Lyon.
FLOPS
Lyon, the bête noire of Toulouse
Lyon is an impregnable land for the Stade Toulousain. This Sunday, Antoine Dupont's teammates conceded their fourth consecutive defeat against the Lyonnais. To find Toulouse success in Lyon, we have to go back to November 2017 and a 26-17 victory. Previously victorious in their last 10 matches, Stade Toulousain recorded their first defeat of the season against Lyon.
A late reaction
Without ideas on the offensive plan, Toulouse remained in the race, thanks to the tightness of the foot of Thomas Ramos.
Led 22-12 after the break, Ugo Mola decided to inject fresh blood, with the entry of Antoine Dupont.
A remarkable entry, as the French international streamlined the offensives of his team.
Author of a remarkable 50/22, Antoine Dupont stood out but his entry did not reverse the trend.
Despite Peato Mauvaka's try in the 66th minute of play, Toulouse failed to come back.
