On Matchday 5 of Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais defeated Angers SCO 1-0, securing a crucial win at the Groupama Stadium. Lyon gains nine points and solidifies its place close to the top of the league with this outcome, while the visitors continue to struggle and are only on five points. There were few openings and the contest was intense. Tanner Tessmann, who broke the impasse with a goal in the 65th minute to give Lyon relief and end a game that had been more difficult than anticipated, was the game's hero.
Before the goal, Lyon had several chances, with Malick Fofana especially active down the flank, creating danger and setting up Martín Satriano, who missed after a rebound. Angers stayed compact but lacked attacking threat. The win boosts Lyon’s confidence, showing they can edge tight matches—vital for their Ligue 1 ambitions.
