In a prolific evening for the third day of the Women's Champions League, Olympique Lyonnais joined Chelsea, Manchester City and Bayern, who all performed flawlessly halfway through the group stage. The Fenottes won (3-0) on the pitch at the Stadio Tre Fontane in Rome.
Highly anticipated in this meeting, the young Haitian attacker Melchie Dumornay was decisive with an impressive double. Already scoring in the 36th minute to give her team the advantage against AS Roma, the 21-year-old did it again shortly after with an exceptional goal in the 42nd minute, bringing the score to 2-0 for the visitors. This sublime goal, scored from the central circle, will probably remain as one of the defining moments of the 2024-2025 Champions League campaign, which OL started perfectly with three victories in three matches. “It’s obviously a goal that I’ve always dreamed of scoring in a competition of this caliber”confided Dumornay after his memorable performance.
Thanks to this victory, the Lyonnaises, led by technician Joe Montemurro, take control of group A, ahead of their evening opponents by three points, with a feeling of mission accomplished.
