relive the difficult qualification of Olympique Lyonnais against Grenoble

Lyon obtained its ticket for the last four of the Coupe de France after its victory over Grenoble (2-1), Tuesday February 28, at Groupama stadium. For the first time, Laurent Blanc lined up his three recruits from the winter transfer window at kick-off.

In defense, Dejan Lovren (33) was there to supervise a very young team while in attack, the Swede Amin Sarr and the Brazilian Jeffinho started. The latter scored Lyon’s second goal by scoring from close range after escaping to the left following a pass from Nicolas Tagliafico (38th). Barcola had taken over a little earlier victoriously from the head at the near post a cross delivered from the left wing by Tagliafico, already him, to give the advantage to Lyon (24th).

But if Mohamed Sbaï reduced the mark after a bad intervention by Maxence Caqueret (75th), Olympique Lyonnais managed to extricate themselves from the trap that they had set themselves and can still dream of a first trophy since 2012.
