The match began with an early warning from Montpellier, as Jordan Ferri smashed a powerful shot off the post in the 3rd minute. Despite the promising start, the first half ended goalless, with both teams battling to take control.

In the second half, the intensity ramped up. At the 55th minute, Jordan Ferri thought he had put Montpellier ahead, but his goal was disallowed due to a foul in the buildup. This let-off fueled Lyon, who capitalized on a last-minute chance in stoppage time. In the 90+1 minute, a cross into the box led to a misstep by Khalil Fayad, whose deflection found the back of his own net, sealing the victory for the home side.

With this win, Olympique Lyon climbs to fifth place in the standings with 28 points, strengthening their push for European qualification. Meanwhile, Montpellier remains rooted to the bottom of the table with just 9 points, facing a critical fight to avoid relegation.
