With a last-minute goal from Jeffinho, Olympique Lyon secured a 1-0 victory over Monaco, gaining momentum in the battle for survival against an opponent that dropped three crucial points in their pursuit of the Ligue 1 leadership.

Olympique Lyon notched their second consecutive win, glimpsing hope at the edge of the fifteenth spot, the last one guaranteeing continued presence in Ligue 1 next season. Monaco missed the opportunity to exert pressure on the leader, Paris Saint-Germain, who could widen their lead over the Monegasque side to nine points on Sunday.

Lyon was saved by their goalkeeper, Anthony Lopes, and a stroke of luck when Mohamed Camara missed a clear chance early in the second half, hitting the post. In the end, Lyon, creating fewer chances than their rival, hit the target in the 85th minute through Jeffinho, who capitalized on a well-delivered pass from Ainsley Maitland-Niles to score the lone goal. The Pierre Sage-led team breathed a sigh of relief, fostering dreams of survival.
