After achieving two consecutive victories that put them within a shot of European qualification, Lyon lost at the Gabriel Montpied stadium against Clermont (2-1) and turned their backs on their continental aspirations.
It gave a feeling that the Laurent Blanc set He is going to make his bad course with, at least, the European classification. With four games remaining, three points separate them from fifth-placed Lille. But he was unable to take advantage of his opportunity and expand his illusions.
And Lyon took advantage of that after twenty-two minutes with the goal of Alexander Lacazette, A pass from Amin Sarr. It was the 25th league goal of the French striker, one less than the top scorer, Kylian Mbappé.
But a brace from Grejohn Kyei, the first goal from a penalty in 25′ and the second in the second half, in 65′, from a pass from Algerian Mehdi Zeffane, turned the situation around and the victory for Clermont.
Lyon are briefly three points behind Europe pending the result Lille can get today when they visit Monaco.
