Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli opened the scoring at the Stade de Gerland, cracking a rocket of a shot into the back of the Lyon net to give Los Che a 1-0 lead.

Feghouli made a bursting run from the center of midfield on a counter-attack while his teammate, Pablo Piatti, sprinted down the left wing with the ball at his feet. Feghouli motioned for the ball and Piatti delivered a cut-in pass, teeing up the shot for his teammate to smack home with power.

Feghouli's goal was well earned, with the Algerian international hitting the post on a few occasions prior to finally finishing.

His effort was nearly cancelled out twice by Lyon, though, as the home side scrambled in the box and hit two shots just wide of the goal. Valencia took the 1-0 lead into the locker room at half time.
