HT: So will Besiktas find the next goal to take the tie to Extra-Time or will Lyon hold onto their aggregate lead and find the next goal? Join us again for the second-half.
HT: The Turkish side know they need to find another goal to take the tie to Extra-Time and will need to be more clinical in front of goal and make the most of their chances if they are to find it. However they have to be aware of the Lyon threat. They have survived on a few occasions and will need be cautious of Lacazette, who has caused a number of problems for the hosts. Another goal for the visitors could put the tie out of sight as it would mean that the Turkish side would require three more goals. The visitors will need to be clinical in front of goal themselves and cannot afford to rue their missed opportunities as they will allow Besiktas a way back in the game.
HT: The visitors created a number of good chances and first went close when Tolisso fired an effort wide on the volley from close-range before Lacazette levelled the scores on the night with a delightful chip. Lacazette very nearly put the French side ahead when he struck the post before Cornet fired an effort just wide of the far-post.
HT: The game has been very evenly contested with both sides creating a number of good chances. The hosts started well and went close through Tosun, who twice forced Lopes into good saves with two strikes from-range before Talisca put the hosts ahead on the night. The Brazilian then went close when he curled an effort inches wide of the far-post.
HT: So we’re level at the break but Lyon have a 3-2 lead on aggregate.
