Following the meeting between AJ Auxerre and Olympique Lyonnais, Christophe Pélissier, a Burgundy coach, expressed a recognition of the superiority displayed by the Lyon team during the entire game. Although he was disappointed with the final result, he stressed that he was not dissatisfied with the performance offered by his players, recognizing OL’s dominance and welcoming the quality of their collective game. The goal of Lassine Sinayoko, who had revived the hopes of the Auxerrois fans, was not enough to reverse the course of a meeting where the Burgundy team had long resisted the pressure of Lyon.

Despite a two-goal advantage for OL, the reduction of the AJA score, ten minutes from the end, might seem to question the visitors’ victory. However, Georges Mikautadze’s quick goal, offering on an Alexandre Lacazette plateau, consolidated the Lyon grip and sealed the result. Christophe Pélissier admitted that the walk was too high, recognizing the exceptional quality of Lyon players, especially when they play as a team, as was the case at this meeting. He congratulated OL on its performance, highlighting the level of play displayed.

AJ Auxerre tried to compete with the fourth of Ligue 1, but Burgundy ambitions, notably in an attempt to play behind the back of the defense, did not always succeed. The coach regretted this lack of continuity in setting up the high dry cleaner, considering that it was essential to compete with a team in Lyon. Although the team had some opportunities, as illustrated by Lucas Perri’s parade on a hit by Onaiwu, the outcome of the match confirmed the superiority of Olympique Lyonnais.
