Friendly: OL and its young people hit Dynamo kyiv – Foot Mercato

A rather special day for OL. After a first friendly match won against Bourg-en-Bresse on Saturday (4-2), the Rhodaniens continued their preparation during two friendly matches which were held the same day against Dynamo kyiv. The “substitutes” lost 3-1 in the first set, before the “revenge” in the evening. This time, Bosz aligned entry Gusto, Lepenant, Reine-Adélaïde or Faivre, Tetê, Toko-Ekambi and Lacazette. Caqueret, Tolisso and Dembélé were missing due to injury. The follow-up after this advertisement With this team, Lyon made a better impression in these first minutes. The ball was circulating, despite a valiant opposition too. It was even Besedin who got the first shot from a volley (4th). But the real situation that launched this meeting was to be credited to Toko-Ekambi, who failed against Bushchan after an excellent job by Lacazette (16th). Faivre did not catch the frame either (29th), testifying to a certain lack of realism from Lyon. The good intentions were there. The fine entry of the youngsters Even this last action before the break between Gusto and Tetê would have deserved a better fate (43rd). To see OL finally unblock the situation, we had to wait for the second half and a corner struck by Faivre. Thiago Mendes jumped higher than everyone else and saw Buschan push his head back. Lukeba was the quickest to follow and opened the scoring (1-0, 53rd). OL had done the hardest part, especially before the many changes made by Bosz. After the hour of play, he completely changed his team to bring in 11 young people (Bonnevie, Barisic, Boueye, Felix, Lala, Bonnet, Augarreau, Sanchez, Soumare, Barcola and Lega)! The academy is still doing just as well in Lyon since Boueye sent a big strike from 25 meters just a few minutes after entering (2-0, 74th). In the process, this time it was Barcola who found a subtle pass in the back of the Lega defense, which ended in a touch of a small dive (3-0, 78th). OL have succeeded in their mission and can even boast of having reserves with their young players. We will probably see them again on July 16 in a new double friendly match, this time against Anderlecht. OL’s starting XI: Lopes – Gusto, Thiago Mendes, Lukeba, Henrique – Lepenant, Reine-Adélaïde – Tetê, Faivre, Toko-Ekambi – Lacazette
