Lyon had a tremendous beginning when Corentin Tolisso and Alexandre Lacazette started off on a great note. Lacazette got the home team a brilliant goal in the third minute when exploited the sloppy backpass from Troyes defender Adil Rami. However, in the 39th minute, Florian Tardieu steadily equalized with a penalty. Although, Nicolas Tagliafico regained the upper hand once more in the 47th. Tolisso and Tetê played their part in the buildup. Tetê swooshed in two minutes later. He was in the right position to head in a rebound and he secured a clear cut victory with his second goal in the 75th. He cleverly deluded two defenders before swooping in to strike a goal inside the right post.
Lyon reigned its opener against Ajaccio 2-1. Last weekend, their game against Lorient was postponed, thanks to the unsuitable condition of the pitch. Troyes is facing a tough time as they have now lost all three games so far.
