Olympique Lyonnais beats Servette Geneva in pre‑season friendly

Olympique Lyonnais won 2‑1 against Swiss side Servette FC in a pre‑season match at the Pierre‑Rajon stadium in Bourgoin‑Jallieu. Captain Corentin Tolisso scored both goals, including a penalty, and coach Paulo Fonseca noted a slow first half but praised the team's work in recent days. This victory follows OL's earlier preparation wins over Mâcon, a National 2 side, and St‑Gall, and continues their successful record at Pierre‑Rajon, where they have won five of eight previous friendlies.

The win is part of Lyon's summer programme ahead of the Champions League qualifying rounds, with upcoming matches scheduled against Slavia Prague on 18 July, Wolfsburg on 25 July and a final test against Betis Seville on 29 July.
