Teenager Steeve Kango marked a surprise senior debut for OL with a composed display at right-back, and he even went close to scoring.

According to Le Progres, Paulo Fonseca handed the 19-year-old a start to cover the absence of several natural options in that position.

Lyon supporters have grown accustomed to academy products stepping up, with Khalis Merah, Mathis De Carvalho and Rémi Himbert all breaking through. Kango is the latest off that line.

Kango said he was very proud to have taken his chance, describing the occasion as a positive kind of pressure.

His assured bow at right-back, coupled with that near miss, underlined why Fonseca trusted him on the night.
