Olympique Lyon 0-0 Sevilla FC

Jorge Sampaoli’s men stood firm on a chilly night in France to secure their place in the last 16 as they finished second behind Juventus in Group H. It was Sevilla who came closest to breaking the deadlock when Vitolo curled a shot against the post in a one-on-one after 18 minutes. But Lyon were in the driving seat. Corentin Tolisson headed against crossbar soon after, and Mathieu Valbeuna curled a shot against the bar before halftime. Sampaoli’s side headed down the tunnel having conceded 12 shots on target, the highest in any game they have played so far this season. While it was a similar story in the second half, Sevilla remained disciplined and secured their place in the next round along with Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
