Manchester United was letting a tard of even granted Lyon on Thursday night, after making a total advantage at Old Trafford next week.
It seemed that the 88-minute head of Joshua Zirkzee was going to seal a hard victory 2-1 in France, only for Rayan Cherki to achieve an even later goal.
Thiago Almada had initially given Lyon a first half, before Leny Yoro was headed to United with level terms just before the interval.
As the game was deployed
French football can spend hostile days, as well as any and Lyon fans, provided the noise, a deafening backdrop that greet both players.
The first stages of the party do not coincide with the atmosphere from the stands, as both parties seemed to feel the other. It was limited opportunities from an early age, until Rasmus Hojlund could not become a shy shy when Patrick Dorgu’s promising cut could not be converted.
The disputed began to flow a little more freely afterwards, and Lyon gave their fans something to really shout when Almada broke the dead point in the middle of the first half. The free lack of the Argentinian on the left was intended for a cross, but as Lyon T -shirt jumps they did not come in contact, Andre Onana mistaken it and the ball was nestled at the end.
The United States has become accustomed to falling back, but having to avoid being swallowed by the crowd. They were constantly staying and, in the first half of the stop time, Yoro took Igualada. It was a bit of an orthodox, with a free lack of Bruno Fernandes initially nailed by Lyon’s goalkeeper, Lucas Perri, who was then flying towards the goal by Manuel Ugarte. Yoro’s Flick when he passed in front of his head was instinctive, but was effective as the ball dragged the back of the net.
In the second half and Lyon’s substitute, Alexandre Lacazette lost a great opportunity to restore the leadership on his side, firing in the nearby range after the excellent work of Georges Mikautadze to create the opportunity. The hosts continued to do the best possibilities, with Corentin Tolisso firing too much at Tamly to Problem Onana and Mikaudze shooting at the destination from a decent position.
The creative quality of both parties was beginning to miss, until the United saw two excellent opportunities to take lead and leave with ten minutes. Alejandro Garnacho connected with the Patrick Dorgu cross on the left, to be denied by Perri, before Casemiro was headed from the resulting corner.
There was still time for the former veteran Lacazette d’Arsenal to miss another decent opportunity, which was at the height and width of the interior of the box, which was punished instant later, when Zirkzee first put United. The Dutchman stuck in Fernandes’ flotation to the distant post to direct.
But Lyon ended up doing the last laugh. When they advanced, Mikaudze’s strike was saved by Onana, and the ball left the goalkeeper again on Cherki’s path to devastate home.

Although disappointment is seeing that a victory becomes a draw, the United States thought that they had scored a decisive goal until a few moments earlier.
What they are is the only team still unbeaten in Europe League this season. Now they are 11 without a continental level defeat, which is a career that Ruben Amorim could only dream of the country.
Europe has been the breathing of the United during this difficult season.
For the first time since he became the lead coach of Manchester United in November, Ruben Amorim named an unaltered XI. The team that began the Sunday Manchester Derby draw impressed it enough, while also a positive sign of new injuries in a season defined by absences.
That said, Amorim still had the room on the bench to name four young people from the Academy: Harry AMASS, Godwill Kukonki, Jack Moorhouse and Jaydan Kamason.
Mason Mount won another Cameo game in this one, while also marked the return of welcome to Kobbie Minoo’s action after several weeks.
Ex-unit ex-communist Nemanja Matic did not pull any pre-joc When Andre Onana described as “one of the worst” goalkeepers that the club has ever had. He put a great look at the Cameroonian, who was received with a hostile atmosphere of Lyon’s fans to try to leave him out of the game.
Oneana willing to be wrong, she did. The way Lyon advanced to Thiago Almada was the last absolute thing that the goalkeeper of the United States needed, trapped by the ball flight and the players who moved through his eye line. Unfortunately for Onana, there are now eight mistakes that lead to goals in all competitions since the beginning of last season, which is a maximum among all the goalkeepers of the Premier League.
It was not the largest gafa, but it was avoidable and the one that Matic had set out to achieve his comments in the accumulation was successful.
Leny Yoro has not been known during his career as a center. In fact, before starting here, the French teenager had found the net only three times.
But there is something to say for a central defender that can be a threat to the two boxes. The famous United had it with Steve Bruce more than 30 years ago, while Sergio Ramos scored more than 100 goals for Real Madrid. Nemanja Vidic was a little more successful and lacked, but he scored seven goals in 2008/09.
Harry Maguire has returned a respectable number in the afternoon, scoring seven since the start of last season, but there is potential for Yoro to really lift the bar in this regard now that it is out of the brand.
