Lyon’s opening round struggle has been evident this season, but the troubling times might be behind Lyon as they found their second win of the 2021-22 season with the new coach Peter Bosz. The team now moves into seventh place in French Ligue 1 with the win. Ex Liverpool winger Xherdan Shaqiri was the shining star on the field with great assists with Jason Denayer’s 64th-minute header.
First striker Moussa Dembele had put Lyon ahead with the seventh-minute strike which saw him receive the long pass by Bruno Guimares on his chest and later strike strong with his left foot. Lucas Paqueta then put the game out of reach for Strasbourg with a goal in the 86th minute. The win would be a good motivator for the team that would face PSG next.
