Loïs Openda impresses on Lyon debut despite defeat | OneFootball

Loïs Openda made a positive first impression for Lyon despite a losing debut, according to Le Progres.

On Tuesday he and Mohamed Ouedraogo made their first appearances against Sparta Prague, becoming the 619th and 620th players in the club’s history. The defeat left a poor impression among observers and supporters.

Even so, both largely avoided the collective slump. Openda in particular produced a promising opening display.

The Belgian forward is coming off a difficult season at Juventus, yet in Lyon colours he looked sharper and more assured.

Clinton Mata, his Club Brugge team-mate six years ago, believes Openda will add a lot to the team.
