Lyon provides the essentials against St Pölten and retains the lead of its group

Two out of two. Olympique Lyonnais won against St. PöltenWednesday November 22, during the second day of the Champions League (2-0). Enough to add three more points after the very large victory against Slavia Prague (9-0) eight days ago. Danielle van de Donk scored the first goal of the match very quickly, with a header from a cross from Selma Bacha (4th). OL took the break after returning from the locker room thanks to a grotesque own goal from Leonarda Balog (47th).

The Fenottes could have achieved a bigger victory as their domination was outrageous (65% possession for OL), but they lacked lucidity in the last gesture (35 shots and only 2 goals). The Austrian team had very few opportunities to come back to score (4 shots, none on target).

With this success, Sonia Bompastor’s players consolidate first place in group B with six points, while St Pölten brings up the rear with no points scored. Lyon will return to D1 Arkema on Sunday facing Guingamp, before a period of international truce. We will have to wait until December 13 for OL’s next outing in C1, at home against the Norwegian club Brann.
