Olympique Lyonnais 2:1 Servette FC — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Corentin Tolisso scored twice as Olympique Lyonnais came from behind to beat Servette FC 2-1 in a Club Friendly. The result offered Lyon a confidence boost in pre-season, though the scoreline flattered a side that had to recover from a calamitous start.

Servette stunned the home crowd inside three minutes when Junior Kadile fired them ahead with an unassisted finish. Lyon, however, found their rhythm before the break, and Tolisso levelled on 37 minutes with a close-range strike. The match turned decisively in the 60th minute when Tolisso struck again to complete his brace, giving Lyon the lead for the first time. Servette's frustration showed as Steve Rouiller was booked in the 53rd minute, and a second yellow card followed late on.

Despite the win, the statistics painted a different story: Lyon edged possession at 59% to Servette's 41%, but earned only three corners to the visitors' one, suggesting a contest that was tighter than the result implies. Corentin Tolisso was the standout performer, earning a rating of 8.88 out of ten with his two goals from midfield. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Servette FC, but the result did not confirm that prediction — the Swiss side were outplayed and beaten. There is no next fixture scheduled.
