On Thursday evening, the first match of the 33rd round of the French championship between the clubs "Montpellier" and "Lyon" was played. A tough battle was expected in the match, as the hosts from Monpellier are still fighting for survival, while their opponents are fighting for silver medals. Bruno Genesio's team managed to get closer to their goal, as Lyon celebrated a 2-0 victory. After playing just over half an hour, Gnaly Maxwell Cornet scored the first goal for the guests after Jordan Ferri's pass. A few minutes later, he doubled the score after Alexandre Lacazette's run into the penalty area and sent the ball into the empty net. Later on, although both teams had opportunities, neither managed to score. Winning three points allowed Lyon to temporarily rise to second place, which the club held last season. Meanwhile, Montpellier remains sixteenth.
