Olympique Lyon has in the round of 16 first leg of Europe league provided a good starting point at FC Porto. The French won by a goal from Lucas Paqueta (59th) with 1: 0 (0: 0).
In the rainy Porto, the guests from France had their first opportunity: it was in the 11th minute moussa dembele, who responded brilliantly with a powerful header into the lower right corner Diogo Costa in goal of FC Porto failed.
Lots of banter instead of scoring chances
Almost in return, the hosts also booked their first opportunity: Vitinha shoveled the ball from a standing start and 14 meters away from the goal in the direction of the long corner. But here, too, the goalkeeper was the winner: Anthony Lopes steered the ball over the crossbar after a dive.
It stayed that way at first, with both teams becoming increasingly entangled in tough midfield banter. Until the 38th minute. A misunderstanding prevented the Olympic-Attacker Dembele and Toko Ekambi took the lead: Ekambi took the ball from his partner’s foot and frittered it away.
