France Ligue 1 club, Lyon stood their ground in Turin on Friday to eliminate Juventus from the Champions League quarter-finals by beating them 2-2 aggregate, winning by away goal rule.

The match at Allianz Stadium ended 2-1 with the brace by Cristiano Ronaldo, not enough to see Mauricio Sarri’s wards through.

Lyon came to Turin, with a goal up.

And they doubled their advantage when Memphis Depay opened scoring with a 12 minute penalty.
