The visitors took the lead nine minutes into the game through a penalty before Salim Tebani added the opening try of the match.

However, the home side were back in contention just a couple of minutes later after a spell of pressure just short of the line, resulting in a penalty try.

The Warriors dominated possession early in the second half and were able to edge ahead for the first time inside the last 20 minutes thanks to an Ignacio Mieres penalty.

Worcester's strong spell continued, allowing them to increase their lead with Max Stelling adding their second try of the game.

Jonathan Bousquet made it close late on with another try for Oyonnax inside the final 10 minutes, but they failed to regain the lead.
