Benfica equalizes straight away! (1-1, 45th)
Alidou concludes the beautiful Portuguese counter-attack after a cross to the ground in the area. She just had to push the ball, 1-1!
19:29
OL’s opener! (1-0, 42nd)
What a mistake by Pauls! The pressing of Le Sommer and Cascarino got the better of the goalkeeper and the scorer served her winger who lobbed the defense to score in the empty goal. 1-0, Cascarino.
19:24
Another missed opportunity! (0-0, 37th)
Diani achieves perfect control and serves Le Sommer in the area too narrowly to regain the ball, too bad.
19:20
All that’s missing is the finishing! (0-0, 33rd)

Le Sommer’s failure! (0-0, 12th)
Diani’s pressing is good, his cross too, but Le Sommer’s finish is fishy and it misses the target.

Let’s go to Groupama Stadium!
Kick-off is given, let’s go for 90 minutes, barring any unforeseen circumstances!

Advantage Lyon
With a painful success acquired in the first leg (2-1), the Gones are clear favorites in this double confrontation. Facing them, this is the first time that the Lisbon side have played a second round of the Women’s Champions League, when OL are eight-time winners. Despite their good performance, especially in the first period where they managed to lead, the lack of experience was felt when the Lyonnaises moved up a gear. Cascarino and Dabritz enabled the French comeback. So, this evening all we have to do is get the job done, before heading to the final square.
