Diani rewarded! (3-1, 90th)

Coming into play, Becho does everything to score and she didn’t go far with this shot.

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!
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.
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.
All that’s missing is the finishing! (0-0, 33rd)
Cascarino failed to complete his action on the left side, corner to follow.
First opportunity for Benfica (0-0, 26th)
On an off-center free kick, the header scored by one of the Lisbon players is not dangerous enough to worry Endler.
On video, Le Sommer’s failure
Calm start in Lyon (0-0, 18th)

The pace that OL tries to impose does not hold and the tempo drops at the same time as the chances.
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.
Le Sommer’s strike (0-0, 6th)
Served in the area, the striker tries her first shot with her left foot and finds the goalkeeper’s gloves.
OL on the attack (0-0, 3rd)

After three short minutes, the Lyonnaises are already in the opposing camp and are trying their hand at crosses.
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.
