The Algerian winger acknowledged the difficulty of los Che's task but was still pleased after his strike gave them all three points.
Sofiane Feghouli knew Valencia would suffer for its 1-0 victory at Lyon, but believes the club's counterattacking tactics ultimately paid off as it picked up its first Champions League win of the season.
Feghouli struck a first-half thunderbolt that proved decisive in a game full of chances at the Stade Gerland, with a total of five efforts repelled by the woodwork.
The win gives Valencia its first points in a Group H campaign that began with a 3-2 home defeat to Zenit St Petersburg, and Feghouli praised his team’s tactics and performance throughout a tense contest.
