Lyon's winless streak reaches 5 games after draw with Auxerre in French league
LYON, France (AP) --- Lyon's winless streak stretched to five games across all
competitions Sunday after failing to beat last-place Auxerre in the French
league.
It 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
Niakhat. Mara had earlier had a goal ruled out as the home team's goalless run
stretched to five games. Its 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.
Lille was entertaining FC Paris later, after Toulouse hosted Angers, with
Nantes facing Lorient and Brest playing Metz in relegation battles.
PSG leads by two points from Marseille after both won this weekend.
