After Ibrahima Sissoko opened the scoring on a misunderstanding from the Lyon defense (20th), Karl Toko Ekambi offered an unexpected point to OL at the last minute (90th).

But this result does not suit Les Gones, who did not take advantage of Nice's misstep in Lens (3-0).

Only tenths with 46 units on the clock, they are five lengths behind OGCN (5th, 51 pts).

They are mostly relegated to ten points from the podium, occupied by Rennes (2nd, 56 pts) and Marseille (3rd, 56 pts), which receives Montpellier in the evening.

The RCSA, which may be frustrated to have conceded the equalizer at the very end of the game, however consolidates its fourth place with 52 points, respectively two and four more than Monaco (6th) and Lille (7th).

OL started the game with a bang by putting pressure on the Alsatian defense and logically created the first chance: near the penalty area, Houssem Aouar fired a cross shot that Matz Sels caught on his line (6th).

On the previous action, it took a miraculous comeback and a saving tackle from Gerzino Nyamsi to counter a shot from Moussa Dembélé (5th).

Racing, carried by its incredible public, reacted on a corner but the recovery of Nyamsi flew away (9th).

The second opportunity was good for the RCSA: on a header from Ludovic Ajorque, Sissoko took advantage of a disagreement between two Lyon defenders and Anthony Lopes to emerge and push the ball into the goal (1-0, 20th ).

Just after his shot, the Strasbourg midfielder hit the Rhone goalkeeper, who was hit in the thigh and had to leave his partners shortly after to make way for Julian Pollersbeck (30th).

Just before this replacement, Dembélé had almost equalized in an unacademic way, but his recovery from the thigh, on a cross from Léo Dubois, had crashed on the Alsatian crossbar (28th).

Strasbourg then began to press the Gones higher in order to hinder their ascent of the ball.

This proved to be effective since the latter were no longer dangerous until half-time, unlike Racing.

Indeed, Caci put Pollersbeck to work with a fine volley that the Lyon goalkeeper narrowly blocked (43rd).

Returning from the locker room, Lyon tried to regain control of the game but struggled to approach the Strasbourg goal, except on a header from Jason Denayer well captured by Sels (57th).

OL left more and more space to the RCSA, which almost took advantage of it.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde sent his curling shot just above (71st) then Kévin Gameiro stumbled on Pollersbeck (85th).

Lyon finally snatched the equalizer thanks to Toko Ekambi, on the lookout at the far post on a cross from Dubois (1-1, 90th).
