Olympique Lyonnais' remarkable run of six straight victories came to an end on Sunday night at Groupama Stadium when they were defeated 3-0 by RC Lens. With nine shots in the first half, RC Lens's attack demonstrated greater dominance despite being the visiting club. Florian Sotoca opened the score in the 43rd minute, giving Les Sang et Or the advantage just before the half.
Lens would have a second chance to score soon after leaving the changing room. Lens was given a penalty following a VAR review, which Elye Wahi scored to give Lens a 2-0 lead. OL attempted eight attempts in the second half in an effort to cut their lead to two goals, but they were unable to score. Lyon was without Alexandre Lacazette for the match, which left them without a goal-scoring weapon.
