Lyon – Sparta Praha

Lyon turned their home turf into a fortress, cruising to a 3‑0 victory over Sparta Praha and cementing their place in fourth with eight points from two wins and two draws, their goal difference now a tidy +4. The win pushes Sparta further down the table, leaving them ninth with twelve points but a worrying -3 goal difference after four defeats in eight matches. The two sides have already split their head‑to‑head encounters this campaign, each claiming a win, and Lyon’s latest triumph widens the gap in their direct rivalry. With the three points, Lyon edge closer to the European spots, while Sparta must regroup to halt their slide.
