Overview
- Ernest Nuamah was decisive for Lyon by creating and scoring goals that gave the hosts a 2-0 first-half lead and set the tone for the win reported on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
- Lyon dominated the first half but ceded control after the break, with Palace scoring through Yéremy Pino and Daichi Kamada before Pavel Sulc’s earlier strike restored a two-goal cushion.
- Goalkeeper Dominik Greif produced key late interventions, including a block on Chris Richards in stoppage time and a goal-line challenge on Kamada, that preserved the 3-2 result.
- Pierre Sage, making his return to Lyon in charge of Crystal Palace, said he was very disappointed with his side’s first-half display despite their stronger second-half showing.
- Elsewhere on Thursday, AS Monaco opened its Conference League group with a 2-1 win at CSKA Sofia thanks to Paris Brunner and Ansu Fati, and AC Milan beat Salzburg 4-0 with a hat-trick from Aphadjo Cisse, results that shaped early group standings.
