Le Mans vs. Olympique Lyon

The seven-times Ligue 1 holders twice came from behind to grab a vital point and start their season on a less disappointing note.

New signing Lisandro Lopez proved to be Lyon’s hero, as the seven-time French champions twice came from behind to grab a dramatic point.

But as expected, Lyon came out stronger with Lisandro Lopez giving out everything in a striker's position. And Lopez's persistence paid dividends as his pass to Jean Makoun would be followed up to Mathieu Bodmer, who would shoot to draw the scores level at the half an hour mark.

While, the les Gones continued to press forward into the second half, they would again fall behind when Cris would foul Maiga inside the box.

The resultant penalty would be converted by Coutadeur sending Lloris in the wrong direction from the 12 yard spot.

And this resulted Lyon to step up their attack, which would see Govou's attempt blocked and Bafetimbi Gomis having his effort wide off the mark.

With time running out, Lyon would then draw level again when a decisive Lopez free kick would help them snatch a point in the dying moments of the match.
