Play by play
- 93'
FULL TIME: A strange lack of fluency from Lyon, but PSV defended very well. Well done, everyone. Now it's home for cake and tea.
- 92'
The second leg will be very intriguing; PSV will be delighted to have got that all-important away goal, but Lyon might well be more dangerous away from home and so will not be too downbeat.
- 91'
Lyon must be very frustrated at not being able to get hold of the ball and press for a second goal.
- 89'
There will be three additional minutes of stoppage time. Juninho fouls Van Bommel in the centre-circle, earning the visitors more breathing space.
- 88'
Lyon finally get hold of the ball, but PSV are looking very organised at the back, even at this late stage.
- 86'
PSV are running down the clock with some intelligent passing-and-moving in the Lyon half. The crowd are signalling their annoyance with a wall of whistles.
- 86'
Only Manchester United have avoided defeat at Lyon in the Champions League this season; that's how good a result this will be for PSV.
- 85'
Malouda strikes a left-foot shot well wide after bursting through the middle of two PSV challenges. Still no sign of any changes from Le Guen.
- 84'
Good, adventurous play from Park as he breaks down the right and wins a corner when his attempted cross is diverted out of play.
- 82'
Essien sends over another dangerous cross, but again the PSV centre-backs are up to the challenge. Bouma and Alex have been excellent.
- 81'
PSV will obviously settle for a 1-1 draw. They are dropping deep, but working very hard when they've not got the ball and denying the creative Lyon midfielders the chance to shoot or slide a through-ball in to Wiltord or Govou.
- 80'
Juninho again turns down the chance to shoot when he stands over a free-kick 40 yards out. He lofts a ball in to the box, though Gomes claims - at the second attempt.
- 79'
Lyon can have no complaints: they've spurned a couple of very good chances, but haven't really built on their early lead. PSV had started to come back in to the match in the last quarter, and deserve their goal.
- 78'
GOAL! After a nice spell of possession, Cocu collects a loose ball on the edge of the Lyon area and fires a left-foot shot inside the far post.
- 77'
One of the referee's assistants twists his ankle as he attempts to avoid a ball rolling gently towards him. Seemingly in some pain, he signals to Collina. The goggle-eyed referee has a quite word with his colleague, and moments later he's back on his feet.
- 76'
Beasley has good pace and has certainly improved PSV since he arrived on the pitch. He is playing in quite an advanced position and offering his side an outlet.
- 75'
Govou gets in front of his marker and flicks an effort goalwards at the near post. Gomes does well to push the ball clear, but Collina doesn't spot the save and gives a goal-kick.
- 74'
Reveillere needs some treatment after clashing with Park. Le Guen comes out of the dugout to offer some words of advice to his players.
- 73'
Wiltord doesn't quite realise how much space he has, and attempts to slide a difficult pass through to Govou when he was in a decent position to have a shot himself.
- 71'
Park releases Beasley down the right. The ball is eventually worked to Cocu, who drags a shot wide of the far post from 20 yards. Vennegoor wasn't too far away from prodding the shot goalwards, though.
- 69'
SUB: Beasley on, Farfan off. American international Beasley has scored 11 times this season, and will start on the right-hand side of midfield.
- 68'
There is some activity on the PSV bench, as if Hiddink is thinking about bringing on a substitute.
- 67'
Lyon are getting plenty players forward now as they press for another goal, but PSV are dropping more players deeper to compensate. Cocu, playing almost as a third centre-back at the moment, heads clear a dangerous cross.
- 66'
Juninho attempts to slide a pass through to Govou, breaking at pace through the middle, but his ball is over-hit and Gomes comes out to clear.
- 65'
