Lyon U19 Dominate ASPTT Dijon U19 in French Youth League Rout

Lyon’s Under-19 side delivered a commanding performance at their training centre on 10 May 2026, dismantling ASPTT Dijon U19 with a comprehensive 4-0 victory in the French U19 Youth League. The result underlined Lyon’s attacking depth and kept them firmly in the hunt for a top-of-the-table finish as the season enters its decisive phase.

First-Half Control Sets the Tone

From the opening whistle, the home side asserted their technical superiority. Their midfield trio, anchored by creative playmaker Mathis Delhomme, controlled the tempo and repeatedly carved open the Dijon defence. The breakthrough arrived in the 23rd minute when winger Antoine Girard collected a clever through-ball, cut inside, and fired a low drive into the far corner.

Lyon doubled their lead just before half‑time. A well‑worked short corner routine ended with centre‑back Lucas Perrin rising highest to head home from six yards, leaving the Dijon goalkeeper with no chance. The 2‑0 scoreline at the interval reflected Lyon’s near‑total dominance, with the visitors failing to register a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes.

Second-Half Ruthlessness

The second period brought more of the same. Lyon’s high press forced repeated errors from the Dijon backline, and in the 58th minute, striker Enzo Barbet pounced on a loose pass to slot home the third. Barbet, who has been in scintillating form, later turned provider, teeing up substitute Yannick Da Silva for a composed finish in the 76th minute to complete the 4‑0 rout.

Dijon rarely threatened, and Lyon’s goalkeeper Bastien Legrand enjoyed a quiet evening, making only one straightforward save. The clean sheet was Lyon’s sixth in their last eight home matches, highlighting the solidity of their defensive structure.
