Lyon secured their first points of the season with a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over Strasbourg in Ligue 1, thanks to a sensational brace from Nigerian striker Gift Orban Brace.

The match, held at Groupama Stadium on August 30, 2024, saw Lyon initially struggle as Strasbourg took an early lead.

Despite a quick equalizer from Corentin Tolisso just before halftime, Lyon found themselves trailing again early in the second half. Goals from Andrey Santos and Emanuel Emegha put Strasbourg ahead, but Lyon’s resilience shone through.

English defender Ashley Maitland-Niles sparked hope with a goal to make it 3-2. Then, Orban Brace, who had been struggling to find form since joining Lyon, made a stunning impact.

Coming on as a substitute, he scored twice in nine minutes, including a perfectly placed header, to complete the comeback.

This victory lifts Lyon to 11th place in the league, providing a much-needed morale boost after two consecutive defeats. For Orban Brace, this match could mark a turning point in his career at Lyon, doubling his goal tally in just one game.

Lyon fans will be hoping this thrilling win is a sign of more positive results to come as the season progresses.
