Celal Bozkurt's decisive penalty kick not only secured a dramatic win for Bourgoin-Jallieu over Lyon but also highlighted the emotional weight of cup competitions for teams.
Pierre Sage expressed the weight of their loss, stating, 'We will have to face our shame, to those close to us, to those who love the club, to our managers.'
The defeat elicited a wave of fan violence, leading Laurent Prud'homme, OL's CEO, to stress that 'OL will not tolerate any violence from its supporters.'
The contrasting fate of OL's men's and women's teams this week reflects the instability currently troubling the club, marking a challenging period for Lyon's football reputation.
