Olympique Lyonnais beat Toulouse 3-0

After a fierce performance against Lens the previous weekend, Lyon had appeared to be on the rise; nevertheless, a humiliating loss to Marseille the following week served as a sobering reminder of the seven-time champions' position in the relegation zone.  In addition to switching to a three-man defensive, Sage also welcomed Corentin Tolisso back from injury. Though he made a significant contribution by striking the crossbar and playing an advanced role in midfield, the players from his hometown, Lopes and Lacazette, proved to be the most vital to the result of the game.

Nevertheless, Toulouse remained undeterred and was given a penalty at the end of the half after Lopes pulled down Gabriel Suazo. Though he had to make six saves that night, the seasoned goalie quickly made amends by deftly diving to his left to block Thijs Dallinga's attempt.
