Corentin Tolisso scored a last-gasp penalty to rescue Olympique Lyonnais from defeat, earning a 1-1 draw against Paris FC at home. The goal extends Lyon's unbeaten home run in Ligue 1 to six games (5 wins, 1 draw).
Lyon dominated possession in the first half but struggled to trouble Paris FC goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. The hosts' attack looked disjointed, and it took a late penalty to finally get the equalizer.
Remi Himbert went off target with an unmarked header from Tyler Morton's free-kick early on. Luton had few chances in the first half, with Tanner Tessmann's long-range shot the only notable attempt on goal - easily saved by the German goalkeeper.
Les Bleus created little in the opening period, Marshall Munetsi's effort sailing wide was one of the few moments of note. Would you like more on Luton's performance?
Paris FC looked lively after the break, nearly taking the lead when Jonathan Ikone set up Moses Simon for a great chance - but the Nigerian striker's shot flew wide. The visitors kept pushing, with Nhoa Sangui testing Lyon goalkeeper Dominik Greif moments later.
Paris FC's pressure almost paid off when a corner kick led to a scramble in the box. Rudy Matondo's powerful shot was parried by Greif, falling to Munetsi.
Marshall Munetsi capitalized on his chance, converting from close range to put Paris FC ahead. The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but VAR confirmed it was valid - Munetsi's third goal in three games.
Lyon struggled to respond, creating few chances after falling behind. They continued to struggle to trouble Paris FC goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.
Adam Karabec's cross found Abner Vinicius, but the Brazilian's header flew just over. Adam Karabec then had a chance of his own, thwarted by Paris FC's experienced German goalkeeper.
