Lyon's Europa League hopes take a hit as Tohumcu's stoppage-time equalizer secures a 2-2 draw for Hoffenheim.

Lyon sought to bounce back from their disappointing Europa League loss to Besiktas in their previous outing, traveling to Germany to face Hoffenheim.

Manager Pierre Sage significantly altered his lineup, making ten changes from the team that drew 1-1 with Lille in Ligue 1.

Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramarić nearly capitalized on Lyon goalkeeper Desamps' debut mistake, a rash charge out of his area, but a timely block from a defender spared the French side.

The first half was largely uneventful, with scarce scoring opportunities. Hoffenheim appeared more likely to break the deadlock, enjoying the better chances.

Duje Ćaleta-Car nearly equalized from a corner, but his header veered wide.

Lyon gained momentum, and Orban broke free, only to be thwarted by Chaves' timely block.

A quadruple substitution revitalized Lyon, leading to the equalizer. Lacazette and Cherki combined effectively, setting up Abner's powerful finish.

In stoppage time, Lacazette turned the match around with a brilliant, turning strike after Ćaleta-Car's knock-down from a corner.

Just as Lyon celebrated victory, Tohumcu stunned them with a late equalizer from the edge of the area, sharing the points.
