Lyon secured their fourth straight Ligue 1 win on Saturday, defeating Brest at Stade de Gerland with a convincing 2-0 victory. The result means that the Reds remain firmly in the title race as they look to maintain their impressive form this season.
The first half was dominated by Lyon, who created several chances but failed to convert them into goals. However, in the second half, the visitors were able to take control and secure the three points with two excellent goals from Anthony Lopes and Raul Albiol.
Lopes opened the scoring for Lyon in the 65th minute, beating goalkeeper Jean-Francois Boiteux with a powerful shot from outside the box. The goal proved to be enough for Lyon to seal the victory and secure their place in the top four.
Albiol added another late goal for Lyon in the 89th minute to complete the scoring. He headed home a cross from Moussa Semedo to give Lyon all three points.
With just one game remaining before the end of the season, Lyon now sit in third place in the table, five points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. They will need to continue their good form if they want to catch up with PSG and ensure their spot in Europe next season.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Lyon against Brest, who are struggling towards the bottom of the table. With only one game left to play, Lyon will be looking forward to securing a place in the Champions League next season.
