Late VAR Penalty Saves Lyon as Endrick Faces First Bench and Boos

Overview

• Lyon drew 1-1 with Paris FC after Corentin Tolisso converted a stoppage-time penalty awarded on VAR review for handball.
• An earlier VAR intervention validated Marshall Munetsi’s goal for Paris FC after an initial offside flag.
• Endrick began on the bench for the first time since joining Lyon, came on after the visitors scored, and produced a quiet display that drew some boos from home supporters.
• Fonseca defended the selection call, saying starting Endrick would have risked injury given his recent workload and long layoff before arriving in Lyon.
• Lyon are winless in four in Ligue 1 and remain fourth on 46 points, while French outlet L’Équipe castigated Endrick’s performance as “catastrophic” ahead of Thursday’s Europa League trip.
