Czech footballer Pavel Šulc made headlines once again by scoring the decisive goal that led Olympique Lyonnais to a 1-0 victory over FC Nantes in the French Ligue 1. Šulc's goal came in the 25th minute, where he skillfully redirected a cross from Alphonso Moreira just in front of the Nantes goalkeeper, Anthony Lopes. This victory marks Lyon's twelfth consecutive match without defeat and their ability to win six league games in a row for the first time since May 2018.

Despite facing a red card issued to Brazilian player Endrick in the 61st minute, Lyon maintained control of the match. Nantes, having the majority of the possession post-red card, failed to capitalize on their opportunities, marking their fourth consecutive loss in the league. The outcome not only solidified Lyon's position but also highlighted Šulc's contribution, bringing his scoring tally to ten league goals, and thereby placing Lyon third in the current league standings.

In the broader context, Lyon's continued success in the league positions them as formidable contenders, while Nantes's struggles raise concerns about their current form and position in the table. Racing Lens currently leads the league following a victory against Rennes, putting pressure on Lyon and other teams looking to challenge for the top spots as they strive to remain competitive as the season progresses.
