On Monday (8), Ligue 1 staged a miraculous turnaround! Lyon hosted Montpellier in a nine-goal thriller, with strikers Narcasidi and El Wahi scoring four goals each, and Lyon eventually won 5-4 in 10 minutes of extra time after being down 1-4.
Lyon opened the scoring in the 31st minute of the match with a goal by Nicasidi, but the defense kept making mistakes and Montpellier's 20-year-old striker El Wahi scored four goals in the 40th, 41st, 53rd, and 55th minutes to go from the lead to a 1-4 deficit, but Lyon didn't give up, as Nicasidi scored a goal in the 59th minute, then a goal by midfielder Lovin in the 70th minute to make it a 3-4 draw, and then Nicasidi's 82nd-minute hat trick made it a 4-4 draw. The match was tied at 4-4 with a hat-trick in the 82nd minute. Lyon's late onslaught saw VAR intervene in stoppage time to award a 12-yard penalty, which Nicasidi scored in the 100th minute to lead Lyon to a 5-4 victory.
