    • FT Referee Zyro calls time on the match in Romania and Lyon move up to second in Group F with a great win away from home having recovered from 2-0 down to win 5-3!
    • 90' GOAL LYON! 5-3! The French side complete their comeback win as substitute Fred gets his second. The Brazilian's first shot is saved at the right post but, with Zapata still on the floor, Fred calmly collects the rebound and taps it across the back of the net and into the goal!
    • 71' GOAL LYON! LYON TAKE THE LEAD! The visitors finally get themselves into the lead for the first time in the match as Benzema snatches his second of the match. Juninho's free kick finds Benzema in the centre of the box, who just slots the ball home into the bottom left hand corner. Brilliant from the French side!
    • 69' GOAL LYON! They've been threatening it for a while now but Lyon have managed to get this match back level! Fred receives the ball from Toulalan and fires the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the net from the centre of the box!
    • 60' Juninho makes one of his trademark speedy breaks and finds Keita, whose shot from the right hand side of the penalty spot is high and wide to the right. That was a great chance for Lyon to get this back on level terms
    • 55' Grosso long-range shot is on target but Zapata is prevented from having to make a save as the ball bounces off a Steaua player before getting into the box
    • 49' Benzema is the latest Lyon player to go close as he forces a save in the centre of the goal from Zapata
    • 48' Ederson fires his shot just over the top of the bar from just left of the penalty spot
    • 46' Second half underway in Bucharest ...
    • HT Ok, folks, time has been called on the first half and here's your chance to have a quick breather before we return for another frantic 45 minutes!
    • 44' GOAL STEAUA! Petre puts the hosts back in the lead at Lyon's defence from the corner lets them down yet again. Petre easily leaps higher than the rest of the players in the box and heads Nicolita's corner home from the penalty spot
    • 33 GOAL LYON! Grosso whips his free kick into the box from the left wing and has little difficulty in finding Benzema, loitering beyond the Steaua defence, to head home. We're all level!
    • 30' Lyon really are back in this match now as Keita attempts to level the match but sends his right footed shot just wide from a tough angle
    • 23' GOAL LYON! The visitors have got one back as Keita receives the ball just the right of goal but slamming it into the top right hand side of the net on his first touch!
    • 19' Lyon are beginning to settle now and Benzema has his right footed shot from just outside the box saved by Lloris at the left hand post
    • 15' Steaua continue to be all over Lyon as Moreno's right footed shot from the right side of the box whizzes across the goal face before going just wide to the left
    • 11' GOAL STEAUA! Oh dear, oh dear! It gets worse for Lyon! Nicolita's corner is whipped in to the penalty area to where Goian is waiting. The Steaua man doesn't quite get his head to it, in fact it bounces off his shoulder and somehow dribbles into the back of the net at the left post as Lloris lets the ball roll under his body
    • 8' GOAL STEAUA! Steaua take the lead as they catch Lyon napping at the back. It's a complete mess from the French side and Arturo is allowed to get his head to Ogararu ball unchallenged and that's a pretty easy score for the hosts
