Jordan Ayew tastes defeat on Sochaux debut

Jordan Ayew played his first match for Sochaux in their 2-0 defeat at Olympique Lyon in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday night.

The Ghana international was making his full debut after being named in the starting line-up by coach Herve Renard.

Ayew and his teammates struggled and were downed by goals from Clement Grenier and Yoann Gourcuff at the Stade Gerland.

The 22-year-old was replaced by Pieree-Alain Frau on 78 minutes; three minutes after Sochaux conceded the second goal.

Ayew, on loan from Marseille for the rest of the season, was making his eighth start of the campaign.
