Olympique Lyonnais secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Stade Lavallois to book their place in the Coupe de France quarter-finals, with Brazilian sensation Endrick continuing his red-hot form in front of goal. The young forward delivered another decisive performance, directly influencing both goals and extending his incredible run of goal contributions for Lyon.
First Half: Lyon Control Tempo but Laval Stay Compact
Lyon started the match on the front foot, dominating possession and pushing Laval deep into their defensive third. The home side circulated the ball quickly through midfield, looking to create spaces between Laval’s defensive lines.
Despite Lyon’s early pressure, Laval defended with discipline and structure, forcing OL to rely on shots from distance and wide attacking combinations. Endrick showed flashes of danger with his movement and pressing, but the visitors managed to keep the game level heading into the latter stages of the first half.
Endrick Breaks the Deadlock in the 80th Minute
After sustained pressure, Lyon finally found the breakthrough in the 80th minute.
Endrick positioned himself perfectly inside the box, reacting quickest to a loose ball situation to fire Lyon ahead. The goal lifted the stadium atmosphere and gave Lyon the cushion their performance deserved.
The Brazilian’s composure and positional awareness highlighted why he has quickly become one of Lyon’s most important attacking players.
Late Drama as Lyon Seal Qualification in Stoppage Time
As Laval pushed forward searching for an equaliser, spaces began to open at the back. Lyon capitalised in stoppage time (90+4), with M. Hautbois adding a second goal to secure the win and kill off the contest.
The late goal confirmed Lyon’s dominance and ensured there would be no late comeback from the visitors.
