Mission accomplished for OL. Already qualified for the next round, Sonia Bompastor’s players made sure to complete the group stage of the Champions League at the top of their group, Thursday January 25, thanks to three new points taken on the field of the Austrians of St. Pölten (7-0). A success which suffered no dispute, the locals not taking a single draw from the game.
Never dangerous, they sank after a terrible sequence for them. On a Selma Bacha corner deflected with a header by Damaris Egurrola, the Norwegian Ada Hegerberg found the net for the first time (21st), a few moments before the German Sara Däbritz already doubled the lead with a placed strike from the entrance to the area (22nd).
Lyon will avoid Barcelona and Chelsea in the quarterfinals
Building on their momentum, the leaders of the French championship added five new achievements. The first two scorers scored twice (36th, 87th). While Vanessa Gilles (56th), Dzsenifer Marozsan (79th) and Kadidiatou Diani (83rd), for his return to competition, each went there with their achievement.
Before the reception of Slavia Prague next Wednesday for the sixth and final day of the groups, Lyon can no longer be taken back in first place. Enough to allow him not only to receive the return match in the quarter-finals, but above all to avoid FC Barcelona, defending champion, or even Chelsea.
