Benzema double gives Lyon serene start
August 14th, 2008
Well, not only did Karim Benzema NOT leave Lyon, he seems to be giving his team a very nice start to the football season.
The young player managed to score not one but two goals in Lyon’s first match against Toulouse FC, eventually pulling the team into an excellent 3 to 0 victory over their opponents. Definitely a good start on their road to defending their Ligue 1 title.
Lyon dominated the game with Benzema making two very nice shots to give them goals. The only bad point of the evening for Lyon was an injury on the part of Francois Clerc, and it doesn’t sound like anything with long-term ramifications.
