The match

Pernille Harder had the first chance of the evening when Bayern stormed forward from the first pipe. But it was Lyon who looked like the much more dangerous team. After Arianna Carusos bad clearance, Tabitha Chawinga fell to a great chance. However, the wing player slowly sorted out her feet and the Bayern midfielder quickly recovered from her mistake.

The visitors quickly settled into their usual area of ​​responsibility, which dominated the possession of the ball and patiently played out from behind what invited Bayern to push up. The black shirts raved Lyon to work hard to break their lines. A brilliant exchange between Wendie Renard and Melchie Dumornay saw the latter storm in the box, but her shot was blocked by Magdalena Eriksson.

It would take Lyon until the 35th minute to break the dead end. Linda Sembrant's sloppy touch, when Bavaria tried to play from behind, had Chawinga selected her bag and then ran at the goal of Maria Luisa Grohs. The wing player hit the goalkeeper.

Ten minutes later, it looked as if the locks for Lyon opened up shortly before the half-time pipe when Ellie Carpenter from the Bayern captain Sarah Zadrazil was down into a sloppy challenge in the box. Lindsey Heps took the place, but her shot was low and in the direction of the right corner was stopped by a diving presentation before Grohs.

Bayern came out of the half -time break with new strength. A sloppy passport around Lyon's back saw her teammate Klara Bisl in space harder. However, the wing player's shot was no longer and Lyon's error with impunity. Nevertheless, Lyon still wanted to dominate the chances.

It would take another large block of Grohs to keep the deficit tight when she refused a Nailviertel shot by Kadidiatou Diani. However, there was little what the goalkeeper could do to prevent Lyon from finding his second. Heps picked a Dumornay header out of the air before rolling the ball back to her teammate, who fired home.

Bavaria's best chance of the evening would get involved late in the procedure if harder was fired on the goal, but even that would refuse when Renard blocked the efforts of Christiane Endler's goal. In truth, it was mostly a comfortable evening for the Chilean who only had a shot on the goal.
