The game: Even at 10, Lyon dominated
In Lyon possession, Nice cons explosives. Even after the expulsion of Maxwell Cornet (24th), Nice preferred to let the ball well Lyonnais taken early in the game. With lightning counterattacks led by their arrows in attack (PLEA, Ben Arfa), the Claude Puel’s men held the bargain.
Then, Lyon decided to take their destiny in hand. Untenable in the second half, Lyon have set fire to the Nice defense. Unable to keep the ball in spite of their numerical superiority, Nice failed to control to keep his advantage to score. And it is Lyon who showed a better face in a bold 4-2-3 installed by Bruno Genesio.
Players: Lacazette poison, Ben Arfa solo
Author equalizer, Alexandre Lacazette was rewarded for his sacrifice. In all good shots, the French striker has put on the rack the Nice defense by his movements and dribbling. Behind Samuel Umtiti has long been the only one to keep the house as often this season. Note the good into play Mathieu Valbuena who brought his quality on set pieces.
Nice hand, Hatem Ben Arfa was expected. But he disappointed. A little too personal, he often tried to differentiate himself and forced his game. Conversely, Alassane Pléa and Jérémy Pied, former Lyonnais, have been very active and long lived up to the event.
What could change everything: If Ben Arfa had succeeded his genius gesture
76th minute, 0-1: Lyon shoot and leaves a lot of space behind. Launched against Hatem Ben Arfa is found off-center at the entrance of the Lyon area. On an inspiration which he has the secret, he tries an almost perfect lob that just misses the goal with Antony Lopes was beaten. At 2-0, OL would surely have been knocked out.

The tweet that loves the 4-1-4 the last minute Lyon
After the coming into play of Nabil Fekir and Mathieu Valbuena, Lyon have finished the game in a tactical system that Loco would not have denied.
The decla Bruno Genesio
“Given the face of the game, we saved a point tonight”
the issue: Nice he really level the champions League
?
This is a question that may arise Claude Puel if his team reaches the C1. Friday, Nice showed their limits in a highly charged team after the break. Having opened the scoring, the Eaglets have completely foiled and sorely lacked collective mastery to counter the waves Lyon.
What has been the strength of this team suddenly became his worst fault: youth. If Nice flooded the Ligue 1 freshness this season, he was faced with a lack of damaging collective experience.
Without taking anything away from their season, Nice have long been worn by a glittering Ben Arfa. Not safe to stay, the former Lyon teammates could leave Europe manage without him. And if these Aiglons tremble against a Lyon 10, difficult to imagine them against the larger European cars.
