Dinamo Zagreb 0-1 Lyon: Lacazette winner gives French side glimmer of hope

The Ligue 1 outfit could still qualify for the Champions League knockout stage after they won away from home on Tuesday

Alexandre Lacazette's second-half goal gave Lyon a glimmer of hope of Champions League progress as they beat Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 at Stadion Maksimir.

France international Lacazette struck after 72 minutes to break the resolve of a Dinamo defence that had frustrated a below-par Lyon side on Tuesday.

The result means last season's Ligue 1 runners-up can still challenge for second place in Group H if they beat group leaders Sevilla in the final round of group games, but they would need to win by two clear goals and a place in the Europa League looks a more likely destiny for them.
