The Lyonnaises beat the Germans of Wolfsburg 1 goal to 0 this Tuesday evening in a match without Champions League stakes.
A goal from Dutchwoman Van de Donk allowed Lyon to win 1-0 against Wolfsburg and achieve the grand slam on the 6th and final day of the first phase of the Women’s Champions League. Danielle Van de Donk found the opening with a clever backheel when receiving a pass from Kadidiatou Diani in the 81st minute. OL, who won the first leg (2-0), have six victories in as many matches, eighteen points, nineteen goals scored and only one conceded, making them the best defense of the first phase. .
First clear round in groups for the Lyonnaises in 3 years
This is the first time that Lyon has won its six group matches since the format change in 2021-2022. Olympique Lyonnais, undefeated leader of the French championship, finished at the top of group A ahead of their evening opponent relegated nine lengths tied with AS Rome (3rd). The Italian team is eliminated on goal difference. The positions were assured before kick-off and the match no longer had any stakes. Thus, the match, which began at the too late time of 9:00 p.m., was played without too much intensity in front of, once again, a sparse audience with barely more than 3,000 spectators at the Groupama stadium whose capacity is 59,000 seats.
