Lyon, Nov 24 (AP) Lyon’s winless streak stretched to five games across all competitions after failing to beat last-placed Auxerre in the French league.
The 0-0 draw could have been worse for the injury and suspension-hit visitors with Dominik Greif saving a penalty from Auxerre’s Lassine Sinayoko in the first half.
That was awarded after Sekou Mara had been bundled over in the area by Moussa Niakhaté. Mara had earlier had a goal ruled out as Auxerre’s goalless run stretched to five games. Auxerre’s winless run is now at eight games starting with the 2-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain.
Mara also went close in the second half, while Lyon’s Afonso Moreira drew a good save from Donovan Leon in stoppage time.
Late dramaRomain del Castillo scored a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time – five minutes after he’d had another penalty saved – to give Brest a 3-2 win over Metz for its first victory since September.
Nigerian defender Chidozie Awaziem made up for an own-goal in first-half stoppage time by equalizing in second-half stoppage time for Nantes to draw with Lorient 1-1 with both teams fighting relegation. It kept Nantes just ahead of the visitors on goal difference.
Yassin Belkhdim’s early goal was enough for Angers to win at Toulouse 1-0 and draw level with the home team on 16 points.
