This was going to be the start of good day’s work for Lacazette. The stadium was rocking as the players made their way to the center circle. The match resumed and Lille was desperate to get to the break just one goal down. The home fans rose in the 42nd minute and sang “emmenez-moi à Geoffroy-Guichard” (“take me to the Geoffroy-Guichard”. ) My brother-in-law informed me that this happens in every home match and is a reference to Lyon’s fierce rivals St. Étienne who play in the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. St.
So to the Ligue 1 experience. Traveling to the Stade de Gerland was pretty straightforward. I went to the match with my father-in-law and brother-in-law and took the Lyon Metro to the ground. The closer the we got the Stade de Gerland station the more the train seemed reserved for people wearing Olympique Lyonnais kits and colours. We reached the station with a flood of Lyon fans hoping for a result against Lille.
Naturally, on the way to the stand there were the token merchandise stalls, food kiosks and sponsor displays. Inside the stadium though was where we wanted to be. I picked up a copy of La Tribune the match day program. We took our seats in the lower part of the Jean Jaurès stand. Our view was partially obscured by the low hanging upper stand. To our left in the Virage Nord stand were the Bad Gones, Lyon’s hardcore fans and they were getting in the mood. As the countdown to kickoff began in earnest there was a ‘crossbar challenge’ taking place on the pitch. If you were wondering none of the contestants managed to hit the bar. A good old-fashioned t-shirt cannon featured in the fun too.

The club has been selling off their premium talent and promoting players from their highly productive youth team. Of the starting eleven against Lille seven came through from Lyon youth academy. Had Clément Grenier featured in the line-up it could have been eight. Olympique Lyonnais is building a new stadium the Stade des Lumières that should be ready by 2015. Financing the stadium has played a part in Lyon’s need in recent years to sell their big name players and rely on their youth system.
Enyeama was easily Lille’s best player; it was instructive that when Lille had the ball he stood two yards or more outside of his penalty area to squeeze the play. Today was not going to be his day though. The impressive Nabil Fékir who had been buzzing up front slipped a through ball to Alexandre Lacazette who outpaced and outmuscled the last defender, Franck Beria, before firing past the helpless Enyeama.

Recount Of The Lyon Matchday Fan ExperienceDate: October 5th 2014 Location: Lyon, France Match: Olympique Lyonnais vs. Lille OSC It’s not every day that I get to attend a Ligue 1 game. It’s certainly not every day that I prepare to attend a Ligue 1 clash by watching live Premier League action as part of a program Match of Ze Day (yep that’s what it’s called). But as the saying goes ‘when in Rome…’ or in this case Lyon, France. I’ve holidayed in France a few times, my better half is French so we journey to Lyon when we can to visit family, but up till now I’ve never seen Olympique Lyonnais play live.
Off the ball his movement was intelligent and he was willing to put in a few challenges too. Indeed a number of Lyon players seemed to be on their game. The backline of Christophe Jallet, Milan Biševac, Samuel Umtiti and Henri Bedimo didn’t want to give Lille an inch. Maxime Gonalons impressively protected his defense breaking up potential Lille attacks and distributing the ball with minimum fuss. The home side created most of the play as the crowd kept chanting. There was a good opportunity in the 19th minute which the keeper, Vincent Enyeama, was equal to. The Nigerian international then pulled off a great save to keep out an effort from Henri Bedimo in the 32th minute after a marauding run from the full back.

It was time to right that particular wrong. It’s been a while since I watched a live competitive match. For the record that game was Rangers vs. Red Star Belgrade at Ibrox in a Champions League qualifier in 2007. Rangers won a tense encounter 1-0 with a last minute goal from Nacho Novo. Nothing beats the thrill and experience of live football but I was hoping that Lyon vs.
