WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – Mistreated, the women’s Olympique Lyonnais managed to overthrow Juventus on Thursday (2-3), in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
Rarely have the Lyonnaises been heckled in this way in recent years. Beaten by PSG in D1 on November 20 (1-0), the Fenottes almost fell in C1 as well. On the lawn of Juventus, OL had to wait until the end of the meeting to win. Led twice to score (Quick 16 ′ and Buchanan against his camp 37 ′), a first in the competition since the final of May 24, 2018 against Wolfsburg, the players of Jean-Luc Vasseur replied for the first time in the first act (Renard from penalty 30 ′). The entries ofHenry, Malard and Cayman at the break will have finally allowed the Rhone to overcome the Italians. Malard equalizing (68 ′) before Kumagai does not knock out the Turinese at the end of the match (88 ′).
