Summary
OL Lyonnes started strong; our players kept possession and quickly pushed forward toward the opponent’s box but faced a solid Milan defense. An early chance put the opposing goalkeeper on her toes. Following a free kick, Selma Bacha sent a hard cross in front of the goal and found Damaris Egurrola, who missed her header (12′). A second chance to open the scoring comes a few minutes later. Melchie Dumornay takes a shot from the edge of the box, but her attempt narrowly misses the target (14′). Our Lyonnes win the ball back immediately after Milan’s clearance, and Jule Brand surges quickly toward the opponent’s box. She beats her marker and slips a through ball behind the defense. Marie-Antoinette Katoto, with a clear run, found herself one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper and finished perfectly (1-0, 18′). OL Lyonnes dictated the pace of the first half, yet they were caught off guard on a counterattack; however, Selma Bacha cleared the danger (20′). Just before halftime, Tabitha Chawinga breaks down the wing and delivers a first-time cross to the far post. Salma Paralluelo misses her shot, but Marie-Antoinette Katoto capitalizes on the scoring opportunity (2-0, 45′).
OL Lyonnes returned to the field and brought the same intensity as in the first half. A beautiful through ball from Lily Yohannes found Melchie Dumornay, who finished perfectly, but the goal was ultimately disallowed for offside (48′). At the one-hour mark, Lily Yohannes scored a sensational goal very similar to the one she scored last season against St. Pölten. Positioned 40 meters out, she noticed the goalkeeper was off her line and lobbed her with a powerful shot—a masterful goal (3-0, 59′)! A few minutes later, Vicki Becho extended the lead after a fine save by the goalkeeper, who had parried Jule Brand’s shot (4-0, 69′). Jonatan Giráldez’s players dictated the pace but were once again caught off guard on a counterattack. Mala Grohs made a superb save, deflecting the ball off the post and preserving the clean sheet (71′). Once again, it was Vicki Becho who finished the play after a shot by Salma Paralluelo was parried by the opposing goalkeeper (5-0, 76′). In the very final moments of the game, Vicki Becho scored the last goal of the match: after beating the opposing defender, she took aim and found the back of the net for the third time in thirty minutes (6-0, 90+4′).

Jonatan Giráldez
« In the first half, we built up our attacks very well, but we struggled a bit in the final meters. In the second half, we managed to combine our build-up play with finishing. I was pleased with the energy we put into this game; we scored six goals against a team that had conceded only one goal since the start of the season. We put in a good performance. »
Vicki Becho
« We all want to give it our all. We’re playing a lot of games right now, and the rotation we’ve put in place keeps everyone involved. Scoring three times is, of course, nice, but above all, it makes me want to do more. I’m never really satisfied. »
Lily Yohannes
« I think we played a good first half, but we’d only scored twice and we wanted to score more. I feel comfortable in this role on the field. There’s a lot of talent on the team, and when we play together, we perform well. As the coach said, it’s important to practice shots like this in training. It’s actually the perfect place to do it before trying it in a game. Today, I scored that beautiful goal, and I’m very happy. »
