Toko Ekambi, Bouaya & Kamara light up Ligue 1 with goals

African players painted the French elite division with goals, albeit, their teams suffered contrasting fortunes

Karl Toko Ekambi was on song twice as Olympic Lyon bowed 3-2 to Nice on the final day of the 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign.

A win for the Kids could have guaranteed them a place in next season’s Champions League, however, they could only settle for a place in the Europa League after losing at home to Adrian Ursea’s men.

With just fourteen minutes into the game, Toko Ekambi put his team ahead after heading past goalkeeper Walter Benitez a cross from Memphis Depay.
