It was Lyon fan and Groupama Stadium regular Mehdi Moujetzky’s brace that took the game to extra time and then Bozkurt’s calmly taken spot-kick that got the ball rolling in the shootout before misses from academy products Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso saw the minnows advance.
Defeats, violence and shame: Lyon are at war with the rest of French football The team were humiliated in the cup, the manager says it’s a ‘tragedy’, the fans are furious and the owner is picking fights.
On Wednesday, he repeated the feat against Lyon’s first team, scoring the first goal in the penalty shootout as fifth-tier side Bourgoin-Jallieu sent last year’s finalists crashing out of the Coupe de France.
The cup defeat sparked a violent reaction from fans, with witnesses also reporting racist abuse directed towards Bourgoin-Jallieu supporters, which prompted an immediate response from the Ligue 1 club.
“OL will not tolerate any violence from its supporters … these incidents should no longer tarnish OL’s image,” said CEO Laurent Prud’homme.
