OL Lyonnes v Marseille: OL Lyonnes called the shots! (5–0)

Our Lyonnes got off to a flying start, opening the scoring right from the kick-off. Melchie Dumornay played a perfect through ball to Jule Brand. The German winger broke down the left flank and crossed for Salma Paralluelo, who beat her marker to finish off this fine move (1–0, 4′). OL Lyonnes were in control of the game but were caught out by a counter-attack. Christiane Endler put an end to it with a fine save (14’). Our Lyonnes pressed the Marseille players and Tabitha Chawinga won the ball back from the opposing defender. Positioned on the edge of the box, she played the ball out to Melchie Dumornay, who slotted it perfectly into the bottom corner (2–0, 26’). Just four minutes later, Tabitha Chawinga once again demonstrated her tenacity by attempting to win the ball back from her opponent. The opposing defender committed a foul and Melchie Dumornay scored her second goal of the match by converting the penalty (3–0, 31’). Shortly before half-time, a Marseille player handled the ball and it was Ada Hegerberg’s turn to extend the lead from the penalty spot (4–0, 40′).

After the break, our Lyonnes regained control of the game but were caught out by a counter-attack led by the Marseille forwards. Melchie Dumornay tracked back well and, with a tackle, cleared the danger by sending the ball out for a corner (56′). Shortly after the hour mark, OL Lyonnes distinguished themselves once again with a fine piece of team play. Vicki Becho broke down the right wing and crossed to the far post, finding Liana Joseph, who jumped higher than her opponent and headed the ball into the back of the net. The goal was ultimately disallowed due to a foul by the French striker during the challenge (68’). Jonatan Giráldez’s players eventually found the net again a few minutes later. Tarciane crossed into the box; Liana Joseph let the ball run through to the well-positioned Ada Hegerberg. The latter beat the opposing goalkeeper with a crisp shot that nestled into the far top corner (5–0, 71′). The Norwegian striker came particularly close to scoring a hat-trick from another cross by Tarciane (86′). A final shot from Inès Benyahia grazed the crossbar (90+2’) to round off another resounding victory for OL Lyonnes. Thanks to their respective braces, Melchie Dumornay and Ada Hegerberg now occupy first and second place in the league’s top scorers’ table.
