Lyon's winless streak reaches 5 games after 0-0 draw with Auxerre
LYON, France (AP) --- Lyon's winless streak stretched to five games across all
competitions Sunday after failing to beat last-placed Auxerre in the French
league.
The 0-0 draw could have been worse for the injury and suspension-hit visitors
with Dominik Greif saving a penalty from Auxerre's Lassine Sinayoko in the
first half.
That was awarded after Sekou Mara had been bundled over in the area by Moussa
Niakhat. Mara had earlier had a goal ruled out as Auxerre's goalless run
stretched to five games. Auxerre's winless run is now at eight games starting
with the 2-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain.
Mara also went close in the second half, while Lyon's Afonso Moreira drew a
good save from Donovan Leon in stoppage time.
Late drama Romain del Castillo scored a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time -- five minutes after he'd had another penalty saved -- to give Brest a 3-2 win over Metz for its first victory since September. Nigerian defender Chidozie Awaziem made up for an own-goal in first-half stoppage time by equalizing in second-half stoppage time for Nantes to draw with Lorient 1-1 with both teams fighting relegation. It kept Nantes just ahead of the visitors on goal difference. Yassin Belkhdim's early goal was enough for Angers to win at Toulouse 1-0 and draw level with the home team on 16 points. Lille hosted FC Paris later Sunday. PSG leads by two points from Marseille after both won this weekend. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer |
