Lyon 0-2 Celta Vigo player ratings: Endrick and Tessmann unable to turn tie | OneFootball

Celta Vigo’s methodical approach left Lyon powerless, a 0-2 second-leg defeat on Thursday night sealing their Europa League exit.

L'Équipe notes that Endrick and Tanner Tessmann could not make the difference under pressure. Roman Iaremtchouk hesitated over Endrick’s pass on 13, then Moussa Niakhaté was sent off on 19 after catching Javi Rueda with his studs.

Reduced to 10, Lyon leaned on Dominik Greif, who saved from Pablo Duran on 26 and Fer Lopez on 36. At half-time Celta introduced Hugo Alvarez for Williot Swedberg.

Alvarez quickly tormented Steeve Kango and beat him on 50. Endrick wasted a central free-kick on 54, before Greif blocked Carreira on 56.

Alvarez then outfoxed Kango again and squared for Rueda to score from inside the six-yard box on 61. Endrick made way for Pavel Sulc on 67, and Kango later hacked clear a Rueda cross on 73.

Rueda was booked for a block on Afonso Moreira on 89. Jutgla added the second on 90+2, with Greif left exposed by his defence.

Greif stood out for Lyon, but a reshaped back line with Tessmann struggled in possession, the American hurried and seemingly caught out by the ball flashing across Greif’s goal for the opener.
