Lyon Slip to Ligue 1 Loss at Lorient, Nice Crisis Deepens

Pablo Pagis scored the match-winning goal and Lyon were reduced to 10 men after Ainsley Maitland-Niles received a second yellow card, impacting their chances.

  • On 07/12/2025, Lorient's Pablo Pagis scored around the 38th minute, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles was sent off shortly after for a second bookable offence.
  • Paulo Fonseca's return to the touchline after a nine-month ban was 'an important moment' as he sought a different result for Lyon.
  • Yvon Mvogo produced several saves from Corentin Tolisso and Afonso Moreira, while the match included injury delays to Arthur Avom and substitutions including Dermane Karim and Joel Mvuka.
  • The result moved Lorient clear of the relegation zone and left them level on 17 points with Nice, while Lyon remain fifth and lie 10 points behind surprise leaders Lens.
  • At the Allianz Riviera, Nice lost a seventh consecutive home game to Angers amid a sparse, hostile crowd after a Nice ultras boycott, and Franck Haise said `This is obviously a very difficult period`.
