A dramatic ending for a movie game. That is the exact description of the 2-2 draw between Olympique de Lyon and Manchester United, in a meeting that at times gave a good show, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League. Thiago Almada and Rayan Cherki marked for the French cast, while Yoro and Zirkzee scored for the English. The return promises a great game, next week, in Old Trafford.
In a duel of Argentines on the court, Almada and Tagliafico in the premises and Garnacho in the visitor, Lyon and United could not take advantage. A fair result for a game that delivered little football in the complement and that in the end appeared the emotions. In the first part Olympique was superior. When the half hour of the zero was fulfilled on the scoreboard, it broke thanks to the former Vélez and Botafogo: he sent a center that, before a lazy André Onana reaction, ended in goal.

From there, the United United sought to attack with more heart than play. But the French enforced their locality and put the red devils against the ropes who found the draw at the decline. Fernandes accommodated the ball and took a powerful auction with an arc poison that in the first instance was rejected by the young Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri. The rebound was left to Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte who put the ball back inside the area and there Yoro appeared to divert the ball and put the 1-1.

With a tight end, the second half showed a great game that arrived in the last five minutes. A flat complement, without emotions. But in the end the spaces appeared and a rain of emotions lowered the blind to this encounter.
At 44 minutes Manchester United unleashed hell in Lyon with a header from Zirkzee Salvador to the second stick. The stadium was silenced, but in the last party he found relief.

It seemed that the visit would take the victory, but no. Cheki appeared on the last play of the night to capitalize on a rebound in the area and put the final 2-2. Everything will be defined in Old Trafford.
