Incredible scenario! After equalizing the last second last week on their lands (2-2), it was in England, in the theater of the dreams of Manchester United, that the Gones thought well to obtain their qualification for the semi-finals of the Europa League, by erasing a passive of two goals in the Money Time…
Passed through their first period, the Lyonnais indeed found themselves logically led 2-0 at the break not their Mancunian hosts, on goals signed Ugarte (10e) and Dalot (45e+1). A delay seems impossible to fill that the men of Paulo Fonseca nevertheless redid in an irresistible reaction of pride, thanks to Tolisso (71e) and tagliafico (78e). Before losing Tolisso on a second raging yellow card (89e).
What does it matter! To the courage, OL continued its demolition business in overtime, finding the fault still by the essential Cherki (105e). And even allowing yourself to drive the nail on a penalty transformed by Lacazette (110e). At 2-4 in favor of visitors, and ten minutes from the end of the match, the mass seemed said to Old Trafford. And yet …
A cursed minute for OL
Yet the Red Devils were able to return from the devil Vauvert, relaunched by a clumsiness of Almada in the surface and a victorious penalty from Fernandes (114e). Then came this cruel minute and these two goals conceded in blow, works of Mainoo (120e) and Maguire (120e+1) In the middle of an exhausted Rhone defense and in search of lucidity (5-4).
A dramatic outcome for Lyonnais who have literally approached the feat in Manchester, but who tonight are missing for nothing their appointment with a fifth European semi-final. United can savor. It is against Bilbao that the Yoro and others will play their place in the Europa League final in early May.
