Lyon 1-1 Le Havre Player Ratings: Spoils Shared At The Groupama Stadium As Lyon Rescue A Point Through Openda's Late Strike

The Lyon vs Le Havre game in Ligue 1 matchday 2 was one to look out for. Two teams on opposite halves of the table, with the desire to improve upon their performances, made it a really interesting game.

Both teams had just two shots on target in the first half, which clearly shows that despite creating a few chances, none of them were clinical. The second half was a bit different, as the home side, Olympique Lyonnais, showcased why they are among the top two teams in the league standings.

Corentin Tolisso scored for the home side in the 65th minute, but his strike was overturned by VAR. Le Havre took this opportunity and scored against the tide, as Mbwana Samatta headed in from close range from a Fodé Doucouré cross in the 74th minute.

The hosts replied in the 87th minute, when Loïs Openda slotted home after Zachary Athekame headed in a delivery from a corner in the box. Le Havre weren't done yet, as Sota Nakamura put the visitors ahead in the 92nd minute, but VAR played the spoilsport again, disallowing the winner.
