The feat at Juventus Women fails. After winning the first leg 2-1, the Bianconere’s journey stops in Lyon where the hosts win 3-1 and enter the semifinal where they will find their compatriots from Paris Saint-Germain.
LYON SUFFERED TO THE ATTACK – The landlord starts immediately with his foot on the accelerator and in the first four minutes they create two golden opportunities wasted first by Hegerberg, who kicks to the side but offside, and then by Macario who gets the mirror closed by the ex Peyraud-Magnin. The bianconere grit their teeth and slowly try to reorganize and react by exploiting some space left by the Lyons and by a defense that is not yet perfect. The best chance happens in the 22nd with Hurtig who is served at the spot by Bonansea, but the Swede’s shot is blocked by an opponent who saves a goal practically made.
ONE-TWO LYON – At half an hour, however, everything changes with Lyon overturning the result of the first leg within three minutes: in the 32nd insistent action of the hosts that ends with a deep cross by Bacha and a winning shot by Hegerberg, very good at moving behind the defense, evading the marking and then beating Peyraud-Magnin from two steps. At 35 ° comes the doubling of his head again with Malard this time coming out behind a not flawless Lenzini on a cross from the left and crushing his head behind the Juventus goalkeeper.
FRENCH SIEGE – In the second half it is always the home team that pushes looking for the goal of tranquility against a Juventus that, as in the first half final, fails to react and appears dazed. Thus the unexploited opportunities follow one another for Lyon, which goes close to the trio with Mbock Mbathy, blocked for a corner, and Bacha who engages the Juventus goalkeeper from the corner. At 62 ° it is Macario who shoots the diagonal from the edge that Peyraud-Magnin defuses in the corner, while two minutes later Renard does not arrive by a whisker on a tower of Hegerberg on the developments of yet another corner.
THE TRIS ARRIVES – The goal is in the air and arrives when there are less than twenty minutes to go: action on the left with Horan throwing Cascarino, ball in the center for Macario who controls it perfectly, jumps Gama with a piroletta and beats Peyraud-Magnin from two steps . Juve is practically no longer there and risks the goal with the Juventus goalkeeper who, at 81 ° by instinct, and with his foot, avoids the Lyon players on a free kick deflected by Henry.
STASKOVA TRIES TO REOPEN IT – When everything seems over it is the new entry Staskova who rekindles hopes with a header from the new entry Staskova on a corner from Cernoia: excellent execution of the Czech who overcomes in a duel a player like Renard and Angola where Endler cannot reach. A goal that makes elimination less bitter, but fails to shake up the final assault.
