Lyon held 0-0 at Angers as winless streak reaches 9 matches
PARIS (AP) --- Lyon's hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League
were further dented on Sunday after a 0-0 draw at Angers in Ligue 1, extending
its winless run in all competitions to nine matches.
Looking for a first win since mid-February, Paulo Fonseca's players were devoid
of ideas in a match that offered few chances for both teams.
Lyon has a tough schedule ahead with matches against leader Paris Saint-Germain
and second-placed Lens in its remaining six Ligue 1 games. The seven-time
champions are currently fifth, two points behind third-placed Lille.
In-form Monaco hosted fourth-placed Marseille later Sunday.
The top three in France qualify directly for the Champions League while the
fourth-placed team enters the playoffs.
On Friday, defending champion PSG increased its lead over Lens to four points
by beating Toulouse 3-1.
Lens endured an off night on Saturday and was well beaten by northern rival
Lille 3-0.
