Yesterday's first match of the 35th round of the "Ligue 1" championship.
The players of "Angers" could enjoy reaching the final of the national cup a few days ago, but in the national championship they had to step back a bit.
This was caused by the team of "Lyon", in whose ranks Mathieu Valbuena scored first in the 17th minute.
Although the match continued evenly, the students of Bruno Genesio, who played as guests, were able to increase their advantage before the break, when Nabil Fekir converted a penalty kick.
Later it became clear that it was this goal that brought "Lyon" three points, as the opponents' goalkeeper Cheikhas Ndoye reduced the score just at the beginning of the second half.
There were no more accurate shots in this match, and in the 77th minute Mateo Pavlovic, who earned a red card, finally buried "Angers'" chances to at least fight for a point.
Three points helped the winners of this evening return to the fourth place in the standings.
Result:
"Angers" 1 - 2 "Lyon" [0-1] 17' Mathieu Valbuena [0-2] 42' Nabil Fekir [1-2] 49' Cheikh Ndoye 77' Mateo Pavlovic ("Angers") sent off the field
