Lyon 2 CSKA Moscow 3: (3-3 agg): Away goals dash OL's home final dreams

CSKA Moscow edged a thriller to knock Lyon out of the Europa League on the away goals rule following a 3-3 aggregate draw in their tie.

Lyon's quest to reach the Europa League final at their home stadium is over after CSKA Moscow eliminated Bruno Genesio's men from the round of 16 on Thursday.

The Ligue 1 side held the advantage in the tie after winning the first leg 1-0, but it was CSKA who broke the deadlock through Aleksandr Golovin in the first half at Groupama Stadium, where the tournament's decider will be staged in May.
