SINSHEIM, Germany (Reuters) – Hoffenheim's Joelinton scored in the UEFA Europa League in the UEFA Champions League.

Hoffenheim came from a goal to the lead 2-1 before the visitors to the Brazilian's late tap-in.

Lyon are second place on five points in Group F, one behind Manchester City. Hoffenheim are still waiting for their first win after three games and have two points.

The French, who hit the post early in the game, Betrand Traore's opener in the 27th minute.

But the locals are keen to beat the wings and they have been rewarded when Croat Andrej Kramaric struck twice to put them ahead.

Kerim Demirbay came close to adding another for the hosts in the second half of the game.

Some sloppy defending from Hoffenheim allowed Memphis Depay to a deep cross of Houssem Aouar, clear sprint and beat Baumann in the 67th minute.

But with seconds left on the clock, Joelinton sneaks into the box to connect with a cutback and rescue a point for the hosts.
