It was a highly anticipated match between Lyon and Monaco!
Both French Ligue 1 clubs were determined not to lose. Lyon aimed to stay level with Lille for third place, while Monaco still harbored hopes of clinching the league title, especially if PSG, who had lost some of its lead, were defeated by Saint-Etienne later in the evening.
In the end, Monaco emerged victorious with a 3-2 away win.
Goals for Lyon came from J. Briand in the 32nd and 78th minutes, while Monaco’s goals were scored by V. Germain in the 4th minute, J. Rodriguez in the 27th minute, and D. Berbatov in the 52nd minute.
With this result, Monaco climbed to second place with 62 points, trailing PSG by 5 points, although PSG still has a game in hand. Lyon, on the other hand, sits in 5th place with 45 points.
