Toulouse vs Olympique Lyonnais

Lyon kicked off their Ligue 1 season with a statement road win, beating Toulouse 0-2 despite the hosts controlling long stretches of the game. The decisive shift came after the hour mark, when a wave of attacking substitutions turned the tide firmly in the visitors' favor. Noah Nartey broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, converting a Pavel Sulc assist, before Malick Fofana sealed it in the 85th, finishing off a Corentin Tolisso pass. There were no penalties or red cards, just yellow cards for Niklas Schmidt, Nartey, and Tanner Tessmann in an otherwise clean, tightly fought match. Toulouse actually out-shot Lyon 17-11 and pushed hard through Thomas Jorgensen, but couldn't find the finishing touch. For Lyon, it's the perfect opening-day statement on the road; for Toulouse, a frustrating reminder that dominance without conversion still means zero points.
