Standout star defines Lyon's trip to Nantes | OneFootball

Pavel Sulc decided it in the 25th minute with a crisp right-footed finish, giving Lyon a 1-0 win at Nantes.

He arrived centrally to meet a corner and guided his shot into the top right (25.). The move came from a short routine that caught Les Canaris flat, with Sulc alive to the second phase.

Soon after, he slipped Tanner Tessmann through for a shooting chance from range (31.). After the restart he kept Les Gones moving up the pitch, winning free kicks to relieve pressure (64., 66., 75.). Ali Youssif was booked for one of those fouls (66.).

He finished with one goal from one attempt, one key pass, four touches in the box and two clearances, a tidy blend of penalty area threat and defensive graft that underpinned Lyon's control in key moments.

Because he found space around corners and between Nantes' midfield and back line, his timing repeatedly unsettled the hosts and ensured Les Gones dictated territory when it mattered.

Les Gones climb to third in Ligue 1 and host Nice next. Les Canaris visit Monaco next.

How high would you rate Sulc's performance tonight?
