After a draw two everywhere on the outward journey, Olympique Lyonnais moved to Manchester for the return match, three days before the trip to Saint-Etienne for the derby. The first half is catastrophic for the Lyonnais with two goals conceded, Manuel Ugarte opening the scoring and Diogo Dalot making the break, just before the break.
Always led two goals to zero by the Mancunians in the 70th minute, OL managed to return thanks to a boost from the referee offering them a free kick, following which Corentin Tolisso gave hope to OL. After a second billiards, Tagliafico allowed OL to pick up seven minutes later, unexpected at that time. A few minutes later, Corentin Tolisso was excluded for a second yellow card. No other goal until the overtime, therefore disputed ten against eleven by OL.

Paradoxically, it is OL that makes the difference twice thanks to Cherki in the 105th minute then to Lacazette on penalty three minutes later. While we thought the match was over again, the Mancunians remember the good memories of the Fergie Time and come back for the first time thanks to the penalty of Fernandes (114th) then thanks to a Mainooo jewel (120th). A little over a minute later, Maguire crucifies OL from the head (121st) to explode Old Trafford.
Exceptional scenario for Manchester who won his qualification for the semi-final of the Europa League (5-4), not for OL which after a completely crazy match, bowed five goals to four after more than 120 minutes played. Which could count on Sunday, 8:45 p.m., at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, for the derby against AS Saint-Etienne, counting for the 30th day of Ligue 1.
