\n
It was a magnificent match and Olympique Lyonnais came out losing it. This Thursday evening, Old Trafford was the scene of a huge moment of football between Manchester United and OL: nine goals, a 5-4 victory for the Red Devils at the end of the overtime while OL led 4-2 in the 110th minute, while this same OL lost 2-0 in the 70th minute. Manchester United, who died twice and resurrected twice in the space of an evening, therefore qualifies for the semi-finals of the Europa League and will face the Athletic Club of Bilbao for a place in the final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
However, the first period of this meeting did not necessarily announce such a denying outcome. Lyon knew himself capable of winning the qualification, and however did not do what was needed from the start of the match. From the 10th minute, Manuel Ugarte, who had followed the overflow of Alejandro Garnacho, put the Lyon beak in the water on a tailor -made action of the Mancunians. Only Leny Yoro was new in the English eleven, and the approach was however different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Bad off, OL returned …<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Some individual Lyon sparks, the most beautiful coming from Rayan Cherki (33rd), could not hide the Mancunian mastery of the debates. Taking advantage of Lyon's defensive errors intelligently, the Mancunians even dug their advantage just before the break by Diogo Dalot (2-0, 45+1st). With this stab, the match already seemed almost closed. He was starting barely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Knowing themselves dangerous against, the Red Devils decided to wait a little lower to better sting in the second period. Garnacho, again, harvested the ball from 3-0 to the 50th minute. The time advancing, the elimination approaching, Lyon still pushed, aware that nothing could turn into great hope in the face of this cautious Manchester. And it's nothing, nothing like a balloon put in the box by Niakhat\u00e9 and extended by Lacazette, who had just entered, that Tolisso put OL in the match (2-1, 70th). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Suddenly, fear has changed camp. Seven minutes later, a center of Malick Fofana returned by Maitland-Niles arrived in the legs of Nicolas Tagliafico, who brought his own (2-2, 77th). The last blow of spell in regulation time: before the referee sends the players in overtime, Corentin Tolisso was excluded on a second warning, leaving his partners to 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
OL has passed …<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
In inferiority, OL has curlved, aware that its forces were reduced to the individual shatters of Malick Fofana, who entered during the game, and Rayan Cherki. Here they are precisely: after a wonderful but unsuccessful shine at half an hour of play, the Lyonnais playmaker came out of his box after a paid acceleration of Fofana. Inheriting from the ball at the surface entrance, the Lyonnais put his own in front (3-2, 105th) of a dry strike from the left foot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Old Trafford was not at the end of his sorrows. A few minutes later, Malick Fofana, who left alone at the Affairs, was cut in his momentum in the surface by Luke Shaw: Alexandre Lacazette, solid like a rock when transforming the penalty, put OL two goals in front. There were only ten minutes left and the Rhone club held its feat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
And OL lost everything<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Except that from the start, Thiago Almada offered a penalty to Mu hitting the foot of Casemiro when he wanted to release the ball. Bruno Fernandes, impressive throughout the meeting, therefore brought Old Trafford to the life of a well-felt dish (4-3, 113rd). OL had to resist, but OL had nothing. Ten against a whole people, the Lyonnais no longer had their legs to prevent Kobbie Mainoo from bringing Manchester back on the 120th (4-4).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At this precise moment, OL was still hanging on a penalty shootout: the time to believe it, and the Red Devils had already turned this match in the legend thanks to Harry Maguire, author of the 5th victorious goal in the additional time of the extension. Manchester United is going to the Europa League semi-finals, OL comes out through a huge door. But on one side as on the other, it will be hard to sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
