Lyon capitalise on blunder

Lyon beat PSV Eindhoven last night after goalkeeper Gomes misjudged a 25-metre free-kick from Juninho at the Philips Stadion

Lyon beat PSV Eindhoven last night after goalkeeper Gomes misjudged a 25-metre free-kick from Juninho at the Philips Stadion. In a re-run of last season's quarter-final, won by PSV on penalties, the home side created the better chances.

Gomes' blunder proved decisive for the Dutch champions, however. They were unable to score, despite playing the last 10 minutes with a man extra after Lyon's Sidney Govou was sent off.

PSV EINDHOVEN: Gomes, Reiziger, Ooijer, Alex, Lamey, Simons, Cocu, Afellay (Kone 73), Farfan, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Culina (Aissati 54).

OLYMPIQUE LYON: Coupet, Clerc, Cris (Wiltord 45), Muller, Abidal, Tiago, Diarra, Juninho, Govou, Carew (Fred 63), Malouda. Sent Off: Govou (81). Booked: Juninho, Govou, Wiltord. Goal: Juninho 65.
