Zapping National Football Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Two French teams will be in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League. Already qualified before this match, Olympique Lyonnais saw the miraculous qualification of Paris-Saint-Germain this Tuesday while Paris FC was eliminated in this group stage. This Wednesday, Sonia Bompastor’s girls hosted Slavia Prague as part of the sixth day of the group stage.
A disappointing draw
Guaranteed to finish at the top of their group, the Lyonnaises conceded a two-goal draw everywhere at Parc OL, having won 9-0 in the first leg. From the fourth minute, Amel Majri opened the scoring for the locals. Five minutes later, Franny Cerna resets the counters. The Fenottes, not enjoying their evening, will nevertheless regain the advantage at the start of the last quarter of an hour of play. Slavia Prague will manage to come back, a second time, to the score thanks to an own goal from Vanessa Gilles in added time. Olympique Lyonnais shot… 35 times on goal, with twelve shots on target. For its part, the Czech club only attempted… two shots for one on target! A more than annoying draw for the Rhone residents.
To sum up
Two French teams will be in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League. Already qualified before this match, Olympique Lyonnais saw the miraculous qualification of Paris-Saint-Germain this Tuesday while Paris FC was eliminated in this group stage.
