Lucas Paqueta gives Lyon Europa League victory in Porto
Lucas Paqueta scored the winner as Lyon took a step towards the Europa League quarter-finals on Wednesday with a 1-0 first-leg victory at Porto. Peter Bosz's side, who have struggled in Ligue 1 this season, are hoping to win a major European trophy for the first time this term. Paqueta produced the game's deciding moment just before the hour mark after a disappointing first half, collecting Tanguy Ndombele's pass and slotting home. The goal survived a VAR check for offside, a few minutes before the video assistant also ruled that Paqueta had not handled inside the area at the other end of the pitch. There was more drama deep into stoppage time, as Porto defender Chancel Mbemba had an effort ruled out for offside.
