"Wolfsburg's triumph also ended Lyon's 18-match unbeaten run in away matches in the competition, inflicting the eight-time champions' first defeat on the road in the Champions League since a 2-1 loss at Juventus in March 2022."
"The deadlock was broken in the 14th minute when Beerensteyn's shot from the edge of the box took a deflection off Damaris Egurrola, which wrong-footed Christiane Endler."
"Lyon pushed for a late equaliser but were wasteful in the final third, leaving them needing to overturn a one-goal deficit in next week's second leg at Groupama Stadium."
"They came within inches of restoring parity just before the hour through Kadidiatou Diani, but her right-footed effort from inside the area bounced back off the left-hand post."
