Lyon secured their place in the UEFA Europa League for next season with a convincing win over Brest in the final round of the French Conference League.
The Lyon side, led by manager Didier Deschamps, dominated the match from start to finish, scoring three goals in the first half and maintaining their lead through the second period.
Brest, who were looking to avoid relegation from the Conference League, struggled to find an equalizer and eventually conceded all three goals.
Deschamps praised his team's performance, saying: "We played very well today. We defended really well and scored three goals. It was a great victory for us."
For Brest, the defeat is a blow to their hopes of avoiding relegation, but the club will still have time to make amends before the end of the season.
The Conference League play-offs will continue until March 28th, with the top two teams advancing to the Europa League qualifying rounds. Lyon will now face either Marseille or Bordeaux in the first leg of their tie against the top seed.
With this win, Lyon have secured their spot in Europe's top tier of football and can look forward to facing some of the best teams in the world in the upcoming seasons.
