Everything is going very well, I am more confident within the team. But I am aware that I can do more, I want to bring more to my team,” he said.
Lyon made a flying start, taking the lead just three minutes into the game when Georgian international Georges Mikautadze found the net after being set up by Rayan Cherki. However, Montpellier equalized in the 38th minute through Tanguy Coulibaly, ensuring the first half ended 1-1.
Nuamah took center stage in the second half, sparking Lyon’s dominance with a goal and an assist in quick succession. He restored Lyon’s lead five minutes after the break before setting up Corentin Tolisso for the team’s third goal.
