### Ligue 1 Round 27: Lyon Beats Ajaccio, Lacazette Scores First Goal Since Return
In the latest round of Ligue 1, Lyon secured their first win of the season with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Ajaccio at home on Saturday night. The match was marked by a strong start from both teams, but it was Lyon's attacking prowess that ultimately proved decisive.
#### Opening Shots and Early Pressure
The match began with both teams firing off early shots, creating several chances in the opening minutes. Lyon quickly gained control of the midfield, with midfielder Remy Mertens and forward Anthony Martial contributing significantly to this dominance.
Ajaccio, despite their efforts, struggled to find a rhythm and were forced into long periods of possession without converting into clear goals. The pressure on Lyon's defense was palpable, but they managed to maintain their defensive integrity throughout the game.
#### The Breakthrough Goal
The turning point came in the 18th minute when Lyon's forward Kylian Mbappe delivered a cross from the left side, which found his teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Aubameyang expertly controlled the ball before unleashing a powerful shot that beat the goalkeeper easily. This goal gave Lyon a much-needed boost and set the tone for the rest of the match.
#### The Second Half: Unleashing the Power
As the second half progressed, Lyon continued to dominate the play. Substitute Thomas Meunier added another goal in the 69th minute after a corner kick. His header from close range was deflected off the post but rebounded back to him, who volleyed it past the goalkeeper.
Substitute Jordan Veretout then scored in the 85th minute, rounding off Lyon's scoring spree. He received a through-ball from Mertens and calmly slotted the ball into the bottom-left corner of the net.
#### Conclusion
With these three goals, Lyon not only secured their first win of the season but also extended their lead in the table. The performance of Kylian Mbappe, particularly his return to form, was crucial in helping Lyon achieve this victory. His goal against Ajaccio marked his first since returning to the club last month, highlighting his improved fitness and readiness to contribute to the team's success.
Ajaccio, though disappointed with their loss, showed resilience and maintained a positive attitude throughout the match. Their next challenge will be to bounce back quickly and avoid any further setbacks.
This win gives Lyon hope for the remainder of the season and sets them up well for upcoming matches against stronger opponents. With the team's current momentum and strong performances, there is no doubt that they can continue to climb the league standings.
