DECINES-CHARPIEU, France (March 22, 2026) (Interstat) — AS Monaco FC delivered a major upset Sunday, defeating Lyon 2-1 in a Ligue 1 match at Groupama Stadium. The visitors overcame long odds and a late red card to Lyon to secure the road victory.

Interstat’s ELO system had given Lyon a 96.2% probability to win. Monaco defied that projection with second-half goals from Pavel Šulc in the 42nd minute and Maghnes Akliouche in the 62nd. Lyon’s lone reply came from substitute Folarin Balogun in the 74th.

Lyon played the final minutes a man down after defender Nicolás Tagliafico received a red card in the 89th minute. The loss marks a disappointing start for Lyon in league play.
