Lyon 2-2 Man United (Apr 10, 2025) Game Analysis


Two errors from Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana helped Lyon claim a dramatic 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal on Thursday.

Onana was the centre of attention in the Groupama Stadium after his pre-match war of words with Lyon midfielder Nemanja Matic, and the pressure may have told as his mistake gifted Thiago Almada a 25th-minute opener.

A timely equaliser right on half-time from Leny Yoro, the young centre-back’s first goal for United since joining in the close season, levelled things up.

United pounced on the counter two minutes from time, with Joshua Zirkzee‘s header seemingly securing them a fine away win. But Rayan Cherki, with the last kick of the game, secured a dramatic draw for the home side after Onana spilled Georges Mikautadze‘s shot into his path.
