With a penalty converted by Austrian Muhammed Cham in the 85th minute, Clermont found victory again at the expense of Olympique Lyon, which it surpassed in the seventeenth matchday of Ligue 1.

Laurent Blanc's team remains stagnant. Lyon fails to maintain its flight and continues to be outside the European zone, increasingly farther away. Now in eighth place, it is seven points behind Stade Rennes, which is fifth and marks the continental zone.

Lyon was unable to score against Clermont, which had gone six games without a win and unexpectedly secured victory in the course of the match. However, a handball by Ivorian Sinaly Diomandé inside the box led to a penalty five minutes before the end, which Cham scored to give three points to Paul Gastien's team.

The visiting team rises to ninth place, just behind Lyon, with only two points separating them.
