Full box for Fenottes. Olympique Lyonnais blasted Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the 8th day of D1 (6-1). The top-of-the-table shock between the only two unbeaten clubs in the championship turned into a Lyon demonstration. This victory allows the Rhone women to seize the leader’s place on their own in the standings and to take a big step forward to regain the championship title.
The Parisians, under pressure from the first moments of the match, led by two goals and reduced to ten in the 26th minute, never managed to get back into the game or even hamper their rivals. After having experienced a difficult week on the extra-sporting level to the point that the club asked for the postponement of the match, finally refused by the FFF, they suffered their first defeat in the league. They also conceded their first six goals of the season in one evening.
The shock at the top of the table quickly turned to the advantage of the Lyonnaises. Better start in the match, they opted for a high pressing and multiplied the opportunities. At the quarter of an hour of play, Catarina Macario opened the scoring on penalty, after a fault of Amanda Ilestedt in the surface on Melvine Malard, very dangerous in the Parisian camp. The start of a long series of goals for the players of Sonia Bompastor who doubled the lead four minutes later, thanks to Danielle Van de Donk. The early expulsion of American Ashley Lawrence in the 26th minute ended up showering Parisian hopes.
Reduced to ten and without solution, the Ile-de-France residents continued to sink in the second period. The achievements of Melvine Malard and Damaris Egurrola before the hour mark worsened the score and if the players of Didier Ollé-Nicolle saved the honor thanks to Amanda Ilestedt, on the first corner and first shot on target from Paris in the 73rd minute the damage was done.

The end of the match was especially marked by the double of Ada Hegerberg. Almost two years (707 days) after scoring its last goal in D1, the 2018 Ballon d’Or returned to success shortly after coming into play at Groupama Stadium. After a first liberating achievement that the Norwegian celebrated with a powerful “Come on!”, The Lyon striker only waited four minutes to shake the opposing nets again. Unavailable from January 2020 to October 2021 due to a succession of injuries, Hegerberg was particularly moved at the end of the meeting.
A particularly successful evening for OL, which beat the Rouge et Bleu for the first time in nearly two years. With this victory, Lyon, fourteen times champion of France between 2007 and 2020, takes three points ahead of PSG and takes a good option for the title at the end of the season after having let it slip last season to the Parisiennes.
