The series continues for Lyon. The French champion won on Thursday on the field of German Wolfsburg (2-0) in the match of the second day of the <a href="https://time.news/womens-champions-league-barcelona-chelsea-live/" title="Women's Champions League: Barcelona – Chelsea, live”>Women’s Champions League. This result already gives the Lyonnais a good chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the event.
Winner of Stambouliotes (3-0), on 8 October at the Groupama Stadium while Roma beat Wolfsburg (1-0), Olympique Lyonnais, unbeaten leader of the French Championship, thus obtains the second consecutive victory in C1 and remains also him on four successes in D 1.
Faced with a not too strong opponent, a two-time winner of the event (2013, 2014), a four-time finalist and already in danger of qualifying, Wendie Renard quickly gave her team the advantage by victoriously repelling a center served by Melchie Dumornay ( 8 ). This is Renard’s 33rd goal in the Champions League.
In the second half, American international Lindsey Horan brought the score to 2-0 by converting a penalty awarded for a foul on Dumornay committed by Janina Minge (53′).
Apart from these two goals, OL, who controlled the game especially in the first half, did not create many chances, as did Wolfsburg. However, the Germans missed the opportunity to get back into the game after a first half in which they showed themselves more dynamic. They failed to convert some situations where Lyon’s defense was hesitant.
In the other match, Roma easily beat the Turkish Galatasaray in Istanbul (6-1). Roma, leaders in goal difference (+6 against +5) and OL will face each other on November 13th in Rome in the match for first place in group A. The two teams have a six-point advantage over Wolfsburg (3rd) and Galatasaray ( 4th).
