Lyon's head coach Genesio was very depressed at this time. In fact, conceding a goal at his home court was okay.
But if The Hague gets an away goal, there will be some trouble.
You must know that The Hague was defeated by Manchester United in their home stadium.
Although in Genesio's mind, he thinks they can beat The Hague even on the road.
But after all, football is never 100%, and The Hague is indeed very strong.
Because Lyon lost the ball, their mentality was somewhat affected.
Of course, it is not to the point of despair. They firmly believe that they are stronger than The Hague.
Sooner or later they can get the score back, losing at home is unacceptable to them.
The game continues, and the fans of the home team are still working hard to cheer for their team.
But today they seemed destined to lose. At this time, Lyon made a mistake in their own half.
Faced with The Hague's pressing, Lyon was passing the ball calmly.
Soon the football was passed to the feet of central defender Nkulu. Faced with Xu Qiang's pressure, Nkulu passed back to goalkeeper Lopez.
In fact, Xu Qiang didn't expect anything, he just instinctively ran towards the goalkeeper.
He wanted to put pressure on goalkeeper Lopez so that he had to kick the ball with a big kick.
In this way, the ball may be returned to The Hague. Lopez saw Xu Qiang rushing over.
Lopez kicked the ball decisively. According to Lopez's idea, he wanted to drive the football into the opponent's half.
But he just kicked it. He kicked the football very high, but not as far as he thought.
The football was dropped in our own half, and the target was obviously a player from The Hague.
There were even no players of our own around this player.
Ndidi saw the football falling towards him, and Ndidi stopped the football steadily.
"Hey! What's going on?" Duan Xuan didn't expect it either.
"Lyon goalkeeper Lopez made a mistake and kicked the football to Ndidi outside the penalty area!"
At this time, his first reaction was to pass the ball, which was obviously a mistake by goalkeeper Lopez.
First of all, Xu Qiang definitely cannot pass the ball. Although Xu Qiang is trying to retreat, he is currently in an offside position.
So he looked at another striker, Alai, who was in a very good position.
Ndidi sent a through ball forward to find Allais in front.
"Passed! Endidi passed to Alai!" Duan Xuan continued to explain.
Allais had been waiting for this pass for a long time when he saw Ndidi passing the ball.
Alai couldn't help but feel happy, Ndidi passed the ball really well.
In addition, this was originally their mistake, goalkeeper Lopez did not take the kick well.
Football has just come to The Hague, so Lyon's defensive players are not very well prepared.
This gave The Hague an opportunity. Not only was there no one to mark Allais, but their defensive position was also very loose.
After catching the football, Alai broke through the penalty area at full speed.
Goalkeeper Lopez also knew that he was in trouble. Although the ball was not passed directly to Xu Qiang's feet, it was not much better.
Lopez quickly attacked, hoping to block Alai's shot.
When Alai saw Lopez attacking, he calmly made a trapdoor.
Lopez jumped up in embarrassment, hoping to reach the football.
Unfortunately, the football still passed him and then slowly fell into the goal.
The Hague leads Lyon 2-0!
"The ball has been scored! It is still Allais who scored the goal. Allais has already scored twice!" Duan Xuan explained excitedly.
"This was a mistake by Lyon. Goalkeeper Lopez forced a big kick in the face of Xu Qiang's pressing."
"But I didn't expect that the kick was given to Ndidi. Although Xu Qiang didn't touch the ball, he was responsible for the goal."
"Endidi then sent a through ball forward and found Allais who was running."
"In the end, Alai scored and opened the score to two goals!"
"You must know that today is Lyon's home court, and the visiting team The Hague actually scored two away goals in a row!"
"Maybe The Hague can win at Lyon's home court today, and then The Hague's chances of advancing to the final will be even greater."
At this time, the fans of the visiting team The Hague were all shouting in disbelief.
They didn't expect that the second goal would come so quickly.
The Hague is now 2 goals ahead of Lyon, which is definitely good news for them.
After scoring, Allais celebrated the goal excitedly. Although this was an away game, fans still applauded and cheered.
Xue Yang, the head coach, excitedly waved his fists in the air.
At this time, the Europa League final seemed to be close at hand. In fact, Xue Yang did not expect that today's game would go so smoothly.
Now he is getting closer and closer to his goal of double trophies this season. The Eredivisie championship is within easy reach, and the Europa League championship is not without a chance.
If Ajax can beat Manchester United, then the Europa League title will be more secure.
Comparatively speaking, Ajax is definitely not as good as Manchester United, and the Eredivisie civil war will be a good topic at that time.
Lyon, who had already been hit, had their morale hit again with this goal.
But how could they give up like this? This is Lyon's own home ground.
Unconsciously, the time came to the 37th minute, and this time it was Lyon's set kick.
The position is also around 45 degrees on the right side of the penalty area, but compared to the previous one in The Hague, it is closer to the sideline.
It is more difficult to hit the goal directly from this position, so passing the ball is the only option.
After the set kick was taken, the football flew into the penalty area.
Although it also has rotation, it is obviously not as big as Xu Qiang's arc before.
Comparatively speaking, Lyon's high-altitude ball is not as strong as The Hague's.
Even though they fought hard, the ball was pushed out by center back Akanji.
It was just because of the fierce fighting that Akanji was not very good at heading the ball, and his header did not clear far enough.
The football flew towards the penalty spot, and the opponent's left winger Valbuena happened to be nearby.
Upon seeing this, Valbuena reluctantly stopped the football, and then Valbuena raised his foot and hit the goal directly.
It is still very difficult to defend by grabbing the second point and then hitting the goal.
Center back Ruben Dias reacted quickly and headed towards the flying football.
I want to use my body to block the football.
Unfortunately, he was still a little slow and the football still flew towards the goal.
And because Ruben Dias blocked goalkeeper Ruyter's view, Ruyter's first reaction was slow.
By the time he saw the football, it was already too late. Although Ruyter made a save, he was still far away from the football.
Lyon pulled a goal back 1-2!
Although Valbuena was happy after scoring the goal, he was still very calm.
Instead of celebrating the goal, he rushed into the goal and fished out the football.
