Lyon displayed its offensive potential, coming from behind to secure a 3-1 victory against Sochaux in the opening match of the 2nd day of Ligue 1. Yassine Benzia, the Franco-Algerian striker, scored the equalizing goal for Lyon and expressed his joy after the match.
Benzia said, “Scoring is good for the statistics and the team. But it’s the team above all, and I’m very happy. We came to take the three points. Alex (Lacazette) has the ability to play on the right, and, as for me, I am more of an axis player but I can play anywhere up front, the coach told me that. As our understanding with Alex is good, we said to ourselves that we could alternate at the forefront. We did it very well. It’s good for us. The goal comes from a nice pass from Clément (Grenier). I’m making a counter-appeal. This goal makes me feel good and allows me to find good feelings again. We started badly but then we had control of the game. After the 3rd goal, we let up a little but we came away with the victory.”
