“We absolutely wanted to win for our player who remains in the United States and has suffered so much, and we did it. It was his victory tonight.”
— Coach Francis Gillot after Sochaux won, 2-0, at first-place Lyon, in the club’s first game since American star Charlie Davies was seriously injured in a car accident Tuesday in Northern Virginia. The win was Sochaux’s first at Lyon in 18 years. (American actor Clint Eastwood, in Lyons to receive a film award, kicked out the first ball.) (L’Equipe.fr)
