Sparta Praha – Lyon

Sparta Praha edged past Lyon 2‑1 at home, moving up to ninth place with 12 points after four wins and four defeats, their goal tally improving to 15 for and 12 against. The French side, now fourth with eight points from two wins and two draws, remained unbeaten in the league but slipped further behind the leaders with a modest 6‑2 goal difference. The victory narrowed the gap in their head‑to‑head record this season, evening the tally to one win each after Lyon had previously taken the other encounter. Both clubs will now look to build on the result as the race for European spots tightens.
