Lyon Secure 2-1 Win Over Nice in Ligue 1 Clash

Ligue 1 Matchday 7 brought Nice to the Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu on a chilly, cloudy evening, with François Letexier taking charge. Lyon lined up in a 4-2-3-1 under Paulo Fonseca, while Olivier Pantaloni's Nice deployed a 3-4-2-1. The visitors struck first through Elye Wahi, but Lyon responded with two goals inside four minutes before the break, Pavel Šulc levelling and Tanner Tessmann heading the hosts in front. The second half was defined by discipline and resilience: Lyon were reduced to ten men when substitute Keito Nakamura was sent off in the 70th minute, yet they held firm through a tense closing period that included a late VAR review and six additional minutes to claim all three points.
