A chaotic moment following a corner kick allowed Ivorian Oumar Diakite to snatch a point for Reims, leading to a frustrating 1-1 draw for Lyon at the Stade Auguste-Delaune during the twelfth round of the season.

The Lyon team, managed by Pierre Sage, couldn't deliver good news to their fans who recently learned about the club's provisional relegation at the end of the season due to financial debts.

Lyon had taken the lead after a string of unbeaten games when Ryan Cherki headed a pass from Alexandre Lacazette into the net just before halftime.

However, early in the second half, a failed clearance from a corner kick by Lyon defenders left the ball at Diakite's feet, who made no mistake and scored past Lucas Perri.

The scoreline remained unchanged, denying both teams a victory. Lyon's attempt to solidify a top spot suffers a setback, placing them fifth, level with Lille and three points behind Marseille. Reims is positioned just below, having secured only one win in their last four matches.
