Lyon - Metz 3:0

Lyon have stormed to the top of the Ligue 1 standings after a commanding 3–0 win over FC Metz.

On a vibrant night at a packed-out Groupama Stadium, the hosts—despite a summer riddled with high-profile departures and off-pitch controversies—looked sharp, unified, and ruthless. The deadlock was broken in the 25th minute when Sékou Fofana, who turned down a summer move to FC Bayern Munich, coolly slotted home the opener to set the tone.

Corentin Tolisso doubled the advantage soon after with a thunderous finish, reminding fans of his quality and leadership in midfield. The final blow came courtesy of Adam Karabec, who capped off the performance with a clinical strike, putting the result beyond any doubt.
