The future of OL League Champions is a little more clouded Tuesday. The Rhone club is inclined effect in the field of 3-1 Zenit St Petersburg during the 3rd day of the group stage. After three games, Lyon advanced to the last place in its group with an unhappy little point. This second straight loss, three weeks after that recorded at home against Valencia (1-0), is all the more regrettable that, at the same time, the Spaniards have won against AA Gent (2-1). And here Lyonnais postponed to 5 lengths of the second qualifying spot for the knockout stages. OL still too rough in the game, his future already play C1 in two weeks, again facing the Zenith, the Gerland stadium.

The heel Lacazette. Classic team in lack of confidence, OL sold from the 3rd minute of play in the coldness of St. Petersburg. Christophe Jallet badly negotiated a hot ball. Oleg Shatov has stolen her leather to start immediately Artyom Dzyuba, who did not miss the opportunity to adjust Anthony Lopes of a small dish of rolled away. OL has a good twenty minutes to emerge until that fly Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, rejected by Mikhail Kherzakov (22nd). Dzyuba (25th, sliding) and Hulk (30th, Lopes tap) both have had the opportunity to weigh the score, but without success. And it is against all odds OL who returned to 1-1 early in the second period on a personal feat of Alexandre Lacazette, author of an aerial back-heel a cross from Jallet (1-1, 49th). Unfortunately, OL plunged seven minutes later …

Lacazette equalizes a lovely backheel …

  
  ... Just before the raid winner Hulk.  
  
  
  The missile Hulk  Hulk, the Brazilian mover in physics, got rid of Gonalons Lacazette then, dismissed as Junior, before addressing a floating overkill and strikes in the right corner of Lopes (2-1, 56th). OL, stunned and still looking for consistency in his game - tenure of Rafael at right-winger in a new 4-3-3 has not convinced - had two clear cut chances in Lacazette (78th) then Samuel Umtiti, author of a terrible hit, but next (79th). 
  
 And the inevitable happened. The Zenith, against outstanding team struck again. Danny, served by Shatov party at the limit of offside (or slightly more), concludes brilliantly Lyonnais Calvary (3-1, 82nd). "It is always played on details," lamented Lacazette to micro BeIN Sports. "They we have switched. We tried to do better in the second period. It'll be difficult to go back now, even if mathematically qualified for the knockout is possible. But if one is eliminated in the Champions League, we will try to be third and to be repaid in the Europa League. " This is probably the ambition which now awaits OL.
