Lyon traveled to Monaco and won 3-1, in a game in which Afonso Moreira was a starter and the team led by Paulo Fonseca achieved their second consecutive victory in the French League. In a very divided first half, the opening goal arrived in the 38th minute, when Sulc responded in the best way to Tagliafico's pass and finished for 1-0. But Monaco's response didn't take long to arrive and just before half-time, Coulibaly took advantage of a defensive error to score the equalizer. Lyon's defense made it easier and Coulibaly was grateful🔥#sporttvportugal #LIGUE1naSPORTTV #Ligue1 #Monaco #Lyon #bacanaplay pic.twitter.com/maerJq6ghQ — sport tv (@sporttvportugal) January 3, 2026 This result remained the same until half-time and could have changed in the 52nd minute, had Kehrer not committed a foul. In response, Lyon were more effective and had no infractions to record. Sulc scored a double (57 minutes) and Paulo Fonseca breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his opponent reduced to ten men shortly afterwards. Coulibaly saw straight red and left Monaco playing with one minus for just over 20 minutes. The time was enough for the visitors to extend their lead through Abner Vinicius' goal and confirm their third victory in the last four games of the competition. Lyon is (conditionally) fifth with 30 points and is ten behind Lens, with Monaco having their third consecutive defeat and could end the day in the bottom half of the table.
