The center of Carpenter…for no one
It’s also pressing high for Fenottes. Carpenter rushes on the right side and crosses high, but no teammate is present to cut the trajectory.
Good pressing from Endemann
Gilles is under pressure and puts Endler back. The Lyon goalkeeper clears directly into touch, pressed by Endemann.
Wolfsburg’s defense well in place
The Lyonnaises turn to get around the very compact German block. The ball is recovered by Rabano.
Here we go again for the second period
No change on either side. We hope to have more spectacle for this last match of the year.
It’s the break at Groupama Stadium
Quite sad first act with very few opportunities to sink your teeth into. With no challenge at stake, both teams struggled to find concrete situations in which to hope to open the score. Only five shots on the Lyon side, two on target. No German side.
Wolfsburg moves a notch higher
Good pressing from Huth in midfield. The Germans continue to pass in the Lyon camp, but the Fenottes defense watches, starting with Carpenter.
The center of Diani is missed
Diani has fun facing Rabano on the right side, but the French international’s cross ends above Borbe’s goal.
Popp a little more in the history of Wolfsburg
The German captain plays her 350th match with the Louves
First shot on target for Diani
Finally a half-chance for OL. Diani is found in the box and strikes. This is captured by Borbe.
Chawinga fails to continue
This combines the left side with a touch on the Lyon side. Chawinga fakes the cross but fails to follow up.
Jónsdóttir attempts a rather daring lob
Off-center on the right side, the Icelander attempts a lob from 40m, but it passes to the left of Endler’s goals quite wide.
Good outing from Endler
The Chilean goalkeeper is quicker to come out in front of Endemann. With her right foot, she clears into touch.
Renard vigilante
Very good cross from Rabano towards the Lyon area, but Wendie Renard’s 1.87m height is very useful in clearing the danger.
Still no offensive success
Hegerberg goes off center to recover the ball and look for Chawinga in the area, it is once again imprecise and cleared by the defense.
The classic Fox-Bacha
Corner coming in from the side for his captain, but Renard does not manage to push the ball towards Borbe’s goal.
Horan gets a corner
Damaris looks for and finds Horan in the box. The American takes the lead again, it is blocked by Wedemeyer for a corner.
Hegerberg isolated at the tip
The C1’s top scorer touches very few balls at the point. Chawinga’s pass is poorly secured and the ball is lost.
Chawinga’s mistake
The Lyon winger is penalized for a shoulder blow that was a little too direct on Wedemeyer.
Horan alerts Chawinga in depth
But the Malawian did not start at the right pace. Good exit from Borbe.
Rabano holds off Carpenter
The Australian tries to dribble past her German counterpart, but it doesn’t pass against Rabano, who recovers the ball.
No fault on Bacha
The side, who has just extended his contract until 2029, eliminates two opponents and collapses near the central circle. No fault according to Romanian referee Alina Pesu.
Good exit from Borbe
Maroszan alerts Chawinga with a long through ball. A little too deep, since Borbe makes a good exit.
A round of observation in this first quarter of an hour
No real opportunity to get their teeth into from the two teams who, let’s remember, are already qualified for the quarter-finals.
First German incursion into the Lyon area
Huth’s corner cleared by Ada Hegerberg with a header at the near post. OL gets their foot back on the ball.
Excellent tackle from Wedemeyer
The Wolfsburg defender stopped the acceleration of Chawinga, who was very active at the start of the game.
Horan’s bold move
On a corner obtained by Chawinga, Renard makes a madjer in the area. Secondly, Lindsey Horan tries an acrobatic gesture, Borbe catches the ball.
Gilles on the cover
We try to find Endemann at the forefront of the attack among the Louves, but Vanessa Gilles intervenes and concedes the throw-in.
Ammunition wasted by OL
Two corners are hit consecutively by Bacha, but Wolfsburg clears.
First corner for OL
Diani is alerted on the right side and her cross is cleared for a corner by the defense.
Chawinga wants to show off his speed
The Malawian accelerates on her left side but Wedemeyer does not let herself be surprised and clears the ball into touch.
Marozsan seeks Hegerberg
The German tries a deep pass in the direction of Hegerberg, which unbalances Hegering. The Wolfsburg defender remains on the ground, before getting up with a limp.
OL turns
It combines on the left side between Bacha, Horan and Chawinga. The Fenottes are playing very high and all the outfield players are in the German part of the field.
Foul by Hegerberg
Diani thought she would get the corner after a duel with Rabano, but Hegerberg was ultimately penalized for a foul on Hegering. The Louves will be able to free themselves.
Let’s go to OL-Wolfsburg!
The kick-off is given by Hegerberg.

The OL group, without Dumornay or Majri
Injured against Nantes this weekend a few minutes after coming on and scoring, Amel Majri is not in the squad, just like Melchie Dumornay, left to rest.
“The squad is in good shape. We have to evaluate certain players, but with such a rich group, we can also do prevention. The winter break will be good for everyone,” explained the Australian coach at a press conference. match eve.
A shock without any real sporting challenge
Lyonnaises and Louves are guaranteed to compete in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. OL will even be seeded since Joe Montemurro’s players are first in the group ahead of Wolfsburg, Roma and Galatasaray.

The two teams have faced each other nine times, including four times in the Champions League final (victory for the Germans in 2013, success for the Fenottes in 2016, 2018 and 2020). The results are largely in favor of the Lyonnaises, who lead 7-2 in the confrontations. In the first leg, OL won 2-0 in Germany.
