Alexandre Lacazette will not have taken long to find his good habits. Back in Lyon this summer, the striker who wore number 91 this Saturday participated in the success of his team against Bourg-en-Bresse (4-2). For this, at the Stade Marcel Verchère, the Gones supporters only had to wait seven minutes to see the “General” at work again, on the lookout at the far post, he who had seen the opposing goalkeeper Valentin Baume push back his first attempt shortly before (3rd). Back from the locker room, Houssem Aouar (50th), Moussa Dembélé (57th) and Irvyn Lomami (69th) also scored, before a double from Amani El Ouazzani (82nd and 90th) reduced the gap at the end of the game . As a reminder, Corentin Tolisso had been left to rest, following a physical problem. For its part, Monaco closed its stadium in Portugal in the best possible way by offering itself Portimonense (2-0), during the fourth friendly match already for the players of Philippe Clément.
