Lyon had a 67% possession rate and 2 of their 14 attempts on goal were on target during that game. Malick Fofana (37′) and Maxence Caqueret (78′) scored the goals for Lyon. Only one of Bergerac Périgod’s eleven tries on goal was on target. Romain Escarpit scored for Bergerac Périgod in the 45th minute.
Prior to this, Rennes and Marseille drew 1-1 in their Coupe de France match.
Rennes had 47% of the possession in that game and made 14 shots on goal, only one of which found the net. Martin Terrier was the only Rennes player to score (53′). Marseille’s opponents had 14 shots on goal, only one of which was on target. Jordan Veretout (29′) scored Marseille’s goal. A tension-filled 9–8 penalty shootout ended with Rennes winning.
The defense of Rennes has put up a number of excellent performances, as seen by the fact that they have only given up four goals in their previous six games overall. In that identical time frame, they have scored nine goals themselves.As seen in their more recent scorelines, the Lyon rearguard has been having a great time. The four goals Lyon has scored in their last six games are evidence of their excellent restraint. But there’s no guarantee that this trend will continue.
