Three days after being eliminated from the French Cup by Lens on penalties, Paulo Fonseca's team drew 1-1 in matchday 25 of Ligue 1. Injured Afonso Moreira was absent for the Portuguese coach, as was top scorer Pavel Sulc. Lyon never managed to take full control of the game, and Paris FC capitalized in the second half. Ikoné forced a remarkable save from Dominik Grief in the 63rd minute, but just a minute later, Paris FC celebrated. Marshall Munetsi's precise shot was initially ruled out, but VAR confirmed the legality of the Zimbabwean midfielder's positioning. Lyon felt the impact of the conceded goal and could have suffered a second in the final stretch of the match, but Grief kept the deficit to a minimum. Paulo Fonseca's team capitalized on a great save by the Slovak goalkeeper in the 90th minute and equalized during stoppage time. The match referee, alerted by VAR, awarded a penalty in the 90+5th minute for a handball by Gory from a cross by Hamdani. Tolisso, called to take the penalty, fired a missile into the back of the Paris FC net. Lyon finished matchday 25 in fourth place with the same 46 points as Marseille, who defeated Toulouse on Saturday.
