Lyon's Juninho [right] is challenged by Simone Perrota
The Englishman equalled the Champions League record, set by Dick Jol in 2000, in a fractious, ill-tempered affair.
Juninho created Lyon's best chance when his free-kick ricocheted off Roma's Rodrigo Taddei and on to the post, while home keeper Doni denied Fred.
Francesco Totti had Roma's best effort, but Gregory Coupet saved comfortably.
