Unlike my beloved Bundesliga, the French Ligue 1 isn't exactly known for its ding-dong high-scoring goalfests. So when title challengers Lyon and Marseille, you could be forgiven for not reading too much into the pre-match prediction from Marseille's assistant coach Guy Stephan: "Lyon will be different, they are a team that will look to attack. We will need to be well prepared as we will have opportunities to score."
Psht. Whatever. Boring 0-0 draw to follow, right?
Non.
As the German reporter says, it was "ein ganz außergewöhnliche Spiel".
There's an instant 10-goal classic, plus two teams who're left wondering how they could spank five goals past their title rivals... and still not win!
