In great form, Rayan Cherki allowed OL to quickly equalize on Thursday against Eintracht Frankfurt for the sixth day of the Europa League.
Lyon did not doubt for long. After Ansgar Knauff opened the scoring in the 18th minute, with a nice inspiration from Hugo Ekitike, OL responded ten minutes later to relieve Groupama Stadium.

Trapp surprised
It was Rayan Cherki who allowed his team to equalize against Eintracht Frankfurt this Thursday, during the sixth day of the Europa League. On a heavy strike from Corentin Tolisso from outside the area, Cherki found himself on the trajectory and subtly deflected the ball with the tip of his foot. Enough to surprise Kevin Trapp (27th).
Dominant and pressing, the Lyonnais could have opened the score from the start with an attempt from Tolisso, repelled by the left post (7th). Before the match, OL had 10 points on the clock and were aiming for a victory against the 2nd in the Bundesliga to move closer to qualification.
In his starting choices, Pierre Sage notably decided to trust Ernest Nuamah to lead the right lane. Cherki plays as a playmaker in support of captain Alexandre Lacazette.
