Ghanaian winger Ernest Nuamah opened his league account for the season with a well-taken goal in Lyon’s 1-1 draw against Nantes in a thrilling Ligue 1 encounter.
Nuamah put Lyon ahead in the 10th minute, finishing brilliantly after a perfectly timed assist from Nico Tagliafico. The Ghanaian winger’s sharp movement and composed strike gave Lyon an early advantage and raised hopes of securing a much-needed win.
However, despite Lyon’s efforts to extend their lead, they failed to capitalize on their dominance. Nantes, who showed resilience throughout the game, found their equalizer in the dying moments. In the 90th minute, Nigerian star Moses Simon delivered a pinpoint cross — his sixth assist of the season — into the box, where Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohammed rose high to head the ball past the Lyon goalkeeper, securing a late draw for the visitors.
The dramatic equalizer denied Lyon all three points and highlighted their struggles to maintain leads in the ongoing season. While Nuamah’s goal showcased his talent and promise, Lyon will need to regroup and address their defensive lapses to improve their fortunes in the league.
