Ligue 1: Thanks to Tetê, Lyon saves its head

Three days after his arrival at OL from Ukraine, the young Brazilian striker, 22, was the man of the match by scoring in


Mediocre 9th in Ligue 1 after 30 days, the seven-time champion club is not having the best season in its recent history but, at least, it keeps the flair in terms of recruitment.

The Brazilian Tetê, the striker on loan from the Ukrainian club Shaktior Donetsk and made official in Lyon on Thursday, made a successful debut in Ligue 1 by allowing OL to snatch victory at the expense of Angers (3-2) this Sunday in the last minutes.

Thanks to this success, all is not lost for the Lyonnais this season.

OL indeed climbed from 10th to 9th place, certainly eight lengths behind Rennes, 3rd, but all things considered, just six points behind Nice, 5th and provisional holder of the ticket for the Europa League Conference.

🎙 Head after #OLSCO: “I am very happy today with this first goal which allows the team to win.

I had a nice pass from @gusto_malo.

I was able to finalize and score quickly.

I was very well received in the team.

I received a lot of confidence.

Loaned until the end of the season by the Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk with which he is still under contract until 2023, Tetê, 22, did not take three days to make his mark.

He gave OL a decisive advantage with a cross shot from the right following an assist from Malo Gusto.

And only two minutes after replacing Tanguy Ndombélé (80th, 3-2)...

“I asked Tetê, before he entered, to set the fire,” said Claudio Caçapa, assistant coach of Les Gones.

He was able to play this one against one on his second ball and scored a nice goal.

Let's hope this continues.

He is a technically fine player, who played futsal until he was 15-17 years old, and very lively in his support.

It is still too early for him to start a match.

I am very happy for him.

He's a good kid..."

Previously, OL, in a stadium two-thirds empty due to a movement of discontent from the ultra groups, had gotten into trouble despite the two goals scored by Moussa Dembélé, who twice gave the advantage to his team.

Despite this victory, the performance of the Lyonnais, deprived of two of their best players, midfielder Caqueret, operated on a knee and absent for a month, and striker Toko Ekambi, suffering from Covid, was far from convincing. both on a collective level, as well as desire, commitment and also physical condition.

Lyon is far from reassured four days before going to face West Ham, 5th in the Premier League, in the quarter-final first leg of the Europa League.

In London, perhaps he will have to rely on Tetê again.
