Lyon secured a 2-1 victory against Valenciennes on Sunday, thanks in large part to the contributions of Bafétimbi Gomis and goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. Gomis, the French striker of Senegalese origin, scored his 100th goal in Ligue 1 during the match, making him the most prolific player still active in the French championship. With 38 goals for Saint-Etienne and 62 for Lyon, Gomis has demonstrated his consistency and talent over the years.
In addition to Gomis’ milestone goal, Lyon benefited from a stunning strike by young midfielder Jordan Ferri, which found the top corner of Valenciennes’ net. Despite Valenciennes’ efforts, including an equalizing goal from Ghanaian striker Majeed Waris, Lyon ultimately prevailed. Waris had a chance to salvage a draw for his team with a penalty kick, but Anthony Lopes made a crucial save to secure Lyon’s victory.
Fans and observers congratulated Gomis on his achievement, recognizing him as a top striker in Ligue 1.
