After a suspenseful end to the match, Racing 92 and Lyon finished tied!

Racing 92 had a rather interesting first half, with no less than three tries scored between the 16th and 32nd minutes. But at the break, the Ciel et Blanc, returning to the La Défense Arena for this last match of the year, only led 19 to 12 at half-time, without the Lyonnais having scored. the slightest attempt. It was Berdeu who therefore sanctioned, with the goal, the all-too-present indiscipline on the part of the locals. This indiscipline was notably characterized by two yellow cards: one against Woki in the 7th minute, another against Taofifenua in the 40th minute.

The Racingmen therefore begin the 2nd half at 14 against 15, and without Gaël Fickou, interesting in the first part of the match but injured. This second period will go much less well for the Ile-de- residents. LOU came back to 19-15 in the 53rd minute, but their opponents managed to get by and avoid taking any other points during this gap which lasted a little while in the second period. Tuisova stood out in particular. The Racingmen regain some air in the 72nd minute with a penalty from Le Garrec (22-15). But with 5 minutes to go, Ciel et Blanc are having quite a cold shower…

End of suspenseful match

In the 75th minute, Radradra recovers the beautiful pass at the foot of Cretin to score the try which puts the two teams back on level terms! Suspense totally revived in these last minutes! The Lyonnais then put themselves under pressure 5m from their goal, where a scrum will take place. is penalized in this scrum, which offers a new penalty to Le Garrec: Racing regains the advantage (25-22), but it's not over! Lyon once again had the opportunity to equalize after a forward attack taken in front. Méliande passes: no winner in this match which ends with a tie between Racing 92 and Lyon! There will be a lot of frustration for the Racingmen after an indisicopline which cost too much.

To summarize

Everything started well for Racing 92 against Lyon, but the indiscipline ended up costing Ciel et Blanc dearly, too dearly in fact. And instead of going for an improved victory, the Ile-de-France residents will have to settle for a draw against LOU .
