After 16 days in Ligue 1, Anthony Lopes was the second goalkeeper to have suffered the most shots on target (74) and the one who had made the most saves (59).

After 18 days, the Portuguese has certainly inflated these statistics.

He won his face-to-face with Burak Yilmaz (68th) and again interposed on a strike from the Turk, halfway up in the box (71st).

Two saves that saved OL, solid in the first period before being overwhelmed by the waves of Lille after half-time.

Fonte and Botman, the firefighters of the North

If the Lyonnais hardly existed offensively, it is partly their success.

The Lille hinge made up of Sven Botman and José Fonte recalled the good memories of last season, which saw him be crowned with a title of champion of France.

The Portuguese muzzled Moussa Dembélé, like a tackle slipped to counter him at point blank range in the area (38th) then a new shot blocked by the Lyonnais by his bodyguard (51st).

Botman, him, made speak his physique against Islam Slimani (49th) and his speed of anticipation by tackling Houssem Aouar on a against Lyon (59th).

Even Rayan Cherki, who entered at the end of the match, was unable to take the Dutchman (89th) by default.

Perfect copy.

FLOPS

OL dropped the flag

It is a first balanced act that Lille and Lyon offered at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium.

Houssem Aouar was also the closest to opening the scoring, with an oriented control followed by a shot rolled up just next to the post of Grbic (45th).

But in the second half, Moussa Dembélé only had crumbs to collect in the area.

OL never tried to pack the match and tried to thwart the Lille arrows in the corridors (Celik, Ikoné, Gudmundsson ...).

What he has, on the whole and collectively, done well.

But one would have imagined that Peter Bosz wanted to see his team rise faster in the standings, and not stagnate in 13th place.

Ikoné does not chain

We left it on a successful match and two assists in Wolfsburg, in the Champions League, Wednesday (0-3).

But we saw the dark side of Jonathan Ikoné again this Sunday.

Whether by a free kick in the wall (25th) or accelerations in vain on his right flank, the international tricolor has rarely weighed.

He especially spoiled a 2 against 1 by forgetting Burak Yilmaz, and stumbling over Lukeba (61st).

However, it is he who offers the best opportunity of the match to his Turkish partner (68th).

Replaced within a minute by Angel Gomes.
