Greif once again earned the starting nod between the sticks and was called into action early, denying a dangerous shot from Rassoul Ndiaye in the first half. While Lyon enjoyed more possession, the visitors consistently threatened with swift counter-attacks.

After the break, Le Havre took the lead through an Ally Samatta header. The home side finally responded in the 86th minute, with Loïs Openda leveling the score at 1-1.

The most dramatic moments unfolded in injury time. Greif pulled off two crucial saves, but the visitors eventually found the back of the net. However, after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed, ensuring Lyon salvaged at least a point.
