SUWON (South Korea), July 20: French champions Olympique Lyon drew 1-1 with Dutch side PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday to reach the final of the Peace Cup pre-season tournament.

Robert de Pinho de Souza scored in the 37th minute for PSV after being put through by Lee Young-pyo but Florent Malouda equalised for Lyon early in the second half after a goalmouth scramble.
