Bertrand Traoré gave the visitors a 27th-minute lead and, though Andrej Kramarić turned the match on its head with goals either side of half-time, second-half strikes from Tanguy Ndombele (59) and Memphis Depay (67) looked to have given Lyon a second successive away win. Instead Hoffenheim substitute Joelinton rescued a point in added time, keeping the German side in touch with the top two. • Lyon therefore have five points, one behind leaders Manchester City but three ahead of both Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk. Hoffenheim will be unable to finish in the top two if they lose in Lyon and City win at home to Shakhtar in the other matchday four contest. Form guide Lyon • Les Gones kicked off their 2018/19 UEFA Champions League campaign with a memorable 2-1 victory at Manchester City, and recovered from 0-2 down at home to Shakhtar on matchday two to salvage a point.
