In another surprising result at the start of the new Ligue 1 season, Strasbourg secured a notable 2-1 home win against Olympique de Lyon. The home team sealed their victory through an impressive free-kick by Jean Bellegarde and another goal from Lebo Mothiba. Argentine World Cup champion Nico Tagliafico narrowed the gap in the closing moments with a late 87th-minute goal, but it wasn't enough to alter the outcome.
