Thanks for joining Tribe for this coverage. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off. Good-bye.
The situation only worsened for the home side after the break, with goalscorer Tom Lawrence substituted just before Rangers found themselves three goals down. Rayan Cherki showcased his exceptional skills, weaving his way to the byline and squaring the ball for Malick Fofana, who tapped it in at the back post, effectively sealing the match for Lyon and putting the Scottish giants in a difficult position. This heavy defeat marks another difficult evening for Scottish football in Europe, following closely on the heels of Celtic's 7-1 humiliation to Borussia Dortmund a couple of days ago. Rangers’ impressive four-game winning streak is abruptly halted, while Lyon extend their unbeaten away run in the UEFA Europa League to eight matches, delivering a clear statement of intent to the rest of the competition.
The Ibrox Stadium had served as a fortress in the UEFA Europa League, with Rangers aiming to leverage the electric atmosphere for an early advantage. Within the first ten minutes, James Tavernier had a close-range volley saved, followed by Vaclav Cerny missing an open goal from the rebound. However, Lyon quickly seized control, with Rayan Cherki orchestrating a beautiful move that led to Malick Fofana scoring the opening goal. Rangers equalized shortly after due to a defensive blunder, allowing Tom Lawrence to capitalize on a misplayed header by Corentin Tolisso. Unfortunately for the hosts, Lyon responded swiftly, with Fofana taking advantage of a poor pass from Barron and setting up Alexandre Lacazette for the second goal. Lacazette later capped off a brilliant first half with a stunning strike in stoppage time to extend Lyon's lead, silencing the Ibrox crowd.

After Diomande loses possession, Lyon opt not to launch a counterattack and instead chooses to maintain control of the ball. They circulate it patiently within their half, looking to run down the clock and manage the game out.

89'
Tolisso feels aggrieved after a challenge from Raskin following his pass, leading to a brief confrontation between the two players. The tension escalates into a minor scuffle, but the referee steps in promptly to restore order and defuse the situation. With only a few minutes left in the match, the official recognizes that there's no need for any further altercations at this stage of the game.
87'
SHOT! Diawara connects with Tolisso, who decides to unleash a long-range effort in hopes of catching the goalkeeper off guard. However, the shot lacks precision and sails high and wide of the right post, failing to trouble Butland in goal.
85'
Benrahma exhibits his dribbling prowess as he glides through the midfield, effortlessly navigating past defenders. Spotting Nuamah's run into the right side of the box, he delivers a perfectly timed pass that sets him up for a scoring opportunity. However, Nuamah's shot is directed straight at Butland, who makes the save, but the effort is rendered moot as the offside flag goes up against Nuamah anyways.
