"Lyon's dominant start was rewarded early on when Yohannes shifted the ball onto her right foot before seeing her shot deflect off Janina Minge and wrong-foot Stina Johannes."
"The ball was in the back of the net two minutes later, though, as Becho's deflected delivery was turned home by Marie-Antoinette Katoto, but after a lengthy VAR check, the goal was ruled out for an offside in the build-up against Lyon's number seven."
"However, it mattered little as Lyon led the tie when Dumornay bundled the ball into the net from a corner, with the goal eventually given after another VAR review for a potential handball by the defender."
Lyon overcame a first-leg deficit to defeat Wolfsburg 4-0 in the second leg, securing a 4-1 aggregate victory. Lily Yohannes equalized in the 16th minute, and Lyon maintained pressure throughout the match. Despite a disallowed goal, Melchie Dumornay, Damaris Egurrola, and Tabitha Chawinga scored in extra time to seal the win. Lyon's defense was tested, but goalkeeper Christiane Endler made crucial saves. The match showcased Lyon's resilience and attacking prowess, leading to their advancement in the tournament.
