Lyon and Nice ended the first leg of their UEFA Europa League tie with a draw at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Tuesday evening, with both teams earning three points.

In the first half, Lyon took the lead through substitute striker Kevin Lazzarini, who scored from a corner kick after being set up by defender Lucas Digne. However, Nice quickly equalized when midfielder Yannick Bolasie found space in the box and slotted home.

The second half saw both teams continue to create chances but failed to convert them into goals. Lyon almost扳平比分 when forward Antoine Griezmann tried to score off a corner, but his effort was saved by Nice goalkeeper Olivier Giroud.

As the match wore on, both teams began to play more aggressively, leading to several close calls for goals. But it was not until the final whistle that Lyon managed to break the deadlock.

With the match ending in a draw, both teams will now face each other again in the second leg of the competition at Nice's Stade Velodrome on Thursday night. The winner of the tie will advance to the last 16 of the Europa League.
