Lyon Secures European Ticket by Beating Brest in Ligue 1

Lyon has secured their place in the Europa League next season after beating Brest 2-0 in the Ligue 1 final on Sunday.

The match was played at Stade de France and saw both teams battle it out for the title, with Lyon securing victory thanks to goals from Dimitri Payet and Lisandro López.

It is Lyon's first European ticket since 2017 and comes as a huge relief for the club, who have struggled in recent seasons.

Payet was praised for his performance, scoring the opener before helping to set up the second goal. The Frenchman was also named man of the match.

Brest were unable to find the back of the net despite a strong showing from the home side, but they will be disappointed not to have progressed further into the competition.

Overall, it was a great day for Lyon, who now look forward to facing off against some of Europe's best clubs in the Europa League next season.
