USMNT's Tanner Tessmann scores first Ligue 1 goal but Lyon suffer another backbreaking defeat following Europa League exit at hands of Manchester United

<p>U.S. international Tanner Tessmann scored his first Ligue 1 goal, but it wasn't enough as they fell 2-1 to Saint-Etienne.</p><p>Lyon's hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League took a hit as a result, with Lucas Stassin scoring both goals for hosts Saint-Etienne, netting in either half to lead his team to victory.</p><p><strong>READ MORE: </strong><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/americans-abroad-christian-pulisic-and-milan-see-dreams-dashed-josh-sargent-strikes-again-and-kevin-paredes-impresses-in-return/blt3d8595ea39d14e10" target="_self"><em>Sargent among Americans Abroad to impress this weekend</em></a></p><p>Tessmann was a bright spot for OL, though, as the U.S. men's national team midfielder provided a fantastic finish to give his side a chance. The goal was preceded by some incredible footwork from the midfielder, who patiently dribbled around his defender twice before picking out a corner for the goal. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The backbreaking Ligue 1 loss comes on the heels of an even worse loss in the Europa League. Lyon were eliminated from the competition on Thursday, squandering a late lead by conceding two goals to Manchester United to exit the tournament in heartbreaking fashion.</p><p>Getting back into Europe will now be a challenge. The club currently sits sixth in Ligue 1, good for a Europa Conference League spot, on 51 points. Lyon are just four points behind second-place Marseille, though. There are also just seven points between them and ninth-place Brest, while seventh-place Lens is level on 51 points but trailing due to goal difference. It all sets up a frantic end to the Ligue 1 season with teams jostling for European spots behind champions PSG.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With the goal, Tessmann joined Jordan Pefok to make a little bit of history. The two became the first American players to score on the same day in Ligue 1, with Pefok netting in a win over Mark McKenzie's Toulouse.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Having now lost two in a row, Lyon will now look to rebound on Saturday when they return home to host Rennes with just four games remaining in the Ligue 1 campaign.</p>
