Before the derby, crazy end to the match and big regrets for OL

Traveling to Hoffenheim in Germany, Olympique Lyonnais brought home a point this Thursday evening but may have major regrets with a crazy end to the match and an equalizer conceded in the very last moments (2-2).

After two victories and a defeat in the Europa League, Olympique Lyonnais traveled to Germany to face Hoffenheim this Thursday evening, three days before the derby against AS Saint-Étienne counting for the eleventh day of the French Ligue 1 championship .

It is the Germans who dominate the first period against a Lyon bis who left their managers to rest for the most important match of the year taking place this Sunday against the Greens. Finally, Hoffenheim was rewarded upon returning from the locker room with Gendrey opening the score. Not far from making the break, the locals will finally see the Lyonnais return. Pierre Sage brings in his starters at the hour mark: Lacazette, Fofana, Cherki and Maitland-Niles take to the pitch. Five minutes later, it paid off with Abner's equalizer for OL. The Gones even thought of snatching victory in added time thanks to Lacazette following a corner. It was without counting on the mentality of the Germans who came back at the end of stoppage time thanks to a recovery from Tohumcu (2-2).

Olympique Lyonnais therefore bring home a point from Hoffenheim this evening but may have major regrets with a crazy end to the match and an equalizer conceded in the very last seconds. Hoping that this mentally affects Pierre Sage's players before the derby against AS Saint-Étienne, this Sunday at 8:45 p.m., at Groupama Stadium.
