Lyon draw first blood

TWO GOALS from Lisandro earned Lyon a crucial advantage over Bordeaux in their domestic French battle to discover who will face Manchester United or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

But the £20 million striker also offered some encouragement for Bordeaux when he picked up a late yellow card which means he will miss the second leg next week.

He will be badly missed and this is a tie that is far from over, with Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc still hopeful of meeting his former club United in the last four of the competition.
