Elis, the good pick from Honduras On
loan from Boavista last summer, Alberth Elis is undoubtedly one of the Girondins' most satisfactory recruits.
The Honduran striker was still stirring to disrupt the Lyon defense.
Interesting in depth, but also by his good offensive choices, he was decisive in this meeting by causing the goal against his camp Gusto on his center, then by scoring alone the 2nd Bordeaux goal.
5 goals in 5 shots on target this season in Ligue 1 for him, we could not be more efficient.
LiveShow and a crazy end to the match ... but no winner between Bordeaux and Lyon
Lopes saved the Lyon house
As often, Anthony Lopes was the savior of OL.
Author in total of four saves, the Lyon goalkeeper was invaluable in the weak times crossed by his team.
We will especially remember his incredible last minute parade on a shot from Niang promised to go to the back of his net.
Thiago Mendes shone in the middle
He is not always starting this season but Thiago Mendes has seized his chance on the lawn of Bordeaux.
The Brazilian was thus everywhere in the midfield by recovering a good number of balls.
Above all, he believed to offer the victory to the Lyonnais on a sublime strike from outside the area.
His first goal with OL.
Flops
An evening without for Gusto
Revealed the evening of a PSG-Lyon in September, Malo Gusto spent a more complicated evening this Sunday evening. The promising side has indeed encountered great difficulties in covering his corridor. Positioned as a piston in the new 3-4-3 Lyon, he did not know how to position himself and is involved in the two goals conceded by his team. Deceiving his own goalkeeper on the first, he loses a precious ball not far from the central circle which causes the counter leading the second. An evening to forget.
Costil, far from being serene
The Bordeaux goalkeeper did not breathe serenity in his cage against Lyon. On the first goal conceded, he seems passive on the corner taken by Shaqiri and seems short on the second signed Thiago Mendes. In addition, he was too hesitant in his exits or his ball catches and did not reassure a defense already in difficulty.
3-4-3, a system to be reviewed in Lyon?
For this meeting, Peter Bosz had decided to innovate by aligning a 3-4-3 in order to solidify the axis of his defense and to offer more freedom to the attackers.
If this system had the gift of controlling the game, it did not allow the Lyonnais to be consistent offensively.
Because in the absence of a real attacker (Paqueta having still been aligned in false nine), he lacked the presence in the area.
The entries of Dembélé and Toko Ekambi have also brought more edge.
But it was too late.
