Olympique de Marseille faced a logical defeat (1-2) against Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue, with André-Pierre Gignac’s penalty goal unable to secure a win. Yoan Gourcuff and Bafetimbi Gomis scored for Lyon.
Nicolas Nkoulou, the defender for Olympique de Marseille, acknowledged the opponent’s superiority. “We are disappointed because we started the match a little timidly. Lyon took the match in the right direction and produced a good performance. If we lose the match giving everything we have, we have no regrets. There, we didn’t give everything we needed. I don’t know for what reason, but we didn’t have the best match,” the Cameroonian expressed to La Provence.
