Lyon scored twice in the last 17 minutes to deny Fiorentina the win in a lively 2-2 draw at the Stade Gerland in France.

Italian international striker Alberto Gilardino put the Viola two goals ahead by half time with two headers. This match day two encounter brings together Italy’s Fiorentina and Romanian team Steaua Bucuresti in a tactical game which will see the Stadio Artemio Franchi as the venue. Both teams began the current European campaign with disappointing results when considering what they had deserved out of the match, dropping points against German and French opposition. They will both be keen to make up for their winless match day one attempts.
