Lyon’s hopes for a late victory in their Europa League match against Hoffenheim were dashed as they conceded an equalizer in stoppage time, ending the game 2-2. After struggling for much of the match, Lyon’s Abner scored to level the score, followed by a dramatic goal from captain Alexandre Lacazette. However, Hoffenheim’s Umut Tohumcu struck back just before the final whistle, preventing Lyon from securing their first win since mid-October. Despite the draw, Lyon remains in a competitive position in the new Europa League format, sitting 9th and aiming for direct qualification to the knockout stages.
