Montpellier 1-3 Olympique Lyonnais

Goals: Roberto (74^me SP) // Horan (33^me), LeSommer (71^me) and Van de Donk (83^me)

The Selma march.

After Reims and Soyaux, Lyon continued their impeccable performance by winning on the Montpellier pitch on Friday (1-3). Annoyed by mosquitoes during the warm-up, Les Fenottes were equally annoyed by Nérilia Mondésir, who set fire to the rear of the Rhône, without being rewarded for her efforts (50^me63^me78^me). Not on his plate in the first half, OL relied on the quality of Selma Bacha’s passes: her free kick found Lindsay Horan’s head to deliver the French champions, under the deluge (33^me).

More enterprising after the return of the locker room, such as the double opportunity of Danielle van de Donk and Horan (51^me), Sonia Bompastor’s players doubled their advantage after a shot by Delphine Cascarino, repelled by Lisa Schmitz, but well followed by Eugénie Le Sommer (71^me). Faustine Robert revived the MHSC from a penalty (74^me) and OL had some scares, but Bacha delivered his second assist of the night, to Van de Donk, just to seal the deal (83^me). Not yet clean sheetbut a third victory for the Fenottes, leaders of Sunday’s game against PSG.
