Rage and relief, with a good dose of chambering. Léo Dubois let his joy explode in the last moments of the derby between OL and ASSE, this Sunday evening at the end of the 10th day of Ligue 1 (2-1). While Tino Kadewere had given the advantage to the Lyonnais thanks to his double coming off the bench (65th, 74th), Denis Bouanga had the ball of the equalizer at the end of the foot.
Following a hand from Jean Lucas, the match’s referee, François Letexier, looked at the footage and decided to sanction OL with a penalty. It was the Gabonese who took charge, in the 88th minute of the match. But the Greens forward, who pushed Anthony Lopes to the csc in the first period (40 ‘), did not target. The ball passed to the left of the Lyon goal. And the Lyonnais were able to hold their victory until the end.
The misfortune of Bouanga
Seconds after Denis Bouanga’s failure, some OL players went to congratulate Anthony Lopes, who at the time did nothing other than perhaps intimidate the Gabonese. Léo Dubois, he passed a few inches from the ASSE player with a big smile, exulting after his failure, before the unfortunate hid his head under his jersey as he turned to his camp.
In an enclosure without supporters, due to measures to combat the Covid-19 epidemic, this image showed that the essence of the derby had not gone away. The pride of winning it was still there.
