Lyon, ranked fourth before the game, ushered in the fifth round of the Ligue 1. Lyon took his home court to face Angers, ranked 12th before the game.

Lyon had 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 rounds before the game, while Angers had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in 4 rounds before the game, obviously not as good as Lyon. In the last five matches between the two sides, Lyon has an absolute advantage, because Lyon defeated Angers in those five matches. In addition, on paper, Lyon is far stronger than Angers, because Lyon's entire team is worth nearly 140 million euros higher than Angers, so more than 80% of fans were full of confidence in Lyon's home defeat of Angers before the game.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Taliafico headed the ball in front of the goal. Unfortunately, because his teammate Niakate made a handball foul in the penalty area, Taliafico's goal was called invalid and Angers escaped.

In the 20th minute of the second half, his teammate was saved by header. 23-year-old American star Tesman made a push shot from the right side of the small penalty area to help Lyon take the lead.

In the end, Lyon defeated Angers as he wished, avoiding two consecutive losses, and Angers failed to win for four consecutive rounds. After the game, Lyon took the lead with 12 points and rose to second place, tying Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the list with points. It can be said that Lyon is approaching the top of the list.
