UEFA Europa League: Viktoria Plzen 2 Lyon 1 (3-5 agg)

Viktoria Plzen’s second-half fightback gave Lyon a UEFA Europa League fright but the hosts’ 2-1 win was not enough to avoid elimination.

Trailing 4-1 from the first leg against a side unbeaten in the competition this season, Plzen looked dead and buried on Thursday when Bafetimbi Gomis scored his 19th goal of the season in first-half stoppage time.

Daniel Kolar and Stanislav Tecl scored within two minutes of each other around the hour mark to give Plzen hope, but the latter then fluffed his lines when presented with a glorious chance to cut the overall deficit to one goal as his penalty was saved by Anthony Lopes.
