HIGHLIGHTS | Olympique Lyonnais vs. Chelsea (UEFA Women's Champions League 2022-23)

Two of Europe's absolute best going head-to-head. Lyon are the dominant force in the competition and are on the hunt for their ninth European crown. To the feet of Marjan. At the moment Lyon having the best of the ball. Leighton and an opportunity for Lyon to come in and take them by surprise. Le Somer couldn't finish. See that's how quick he can go. Yes, a lovely little dink over the top just helped it on and thought that Berger was going to come out for it. She just seemed to just hesitate a little bit. Gave Le Somer the advantage but in the end just did enough for Chelsea keeper. Cascarino will try and get there ahead of Carter. Had to be aware of her though. Chess Carter. Here's Horan. Le Somer on the turn and trying to take the shot but it was comfortable though for the Chelsea goalkeeper. Yeah a little bit too easy to get a shot on goal here for Lyon from a Chelsea point of view. Here's Leopold. Spotted Guru Raiten but it wasn't quite the right pass and Carpenter was able to get hold of it. A little bit of a wrestling match though between her and Cuthbert and it's Cuthbert who comes away with it for Chelsea. Plays it across to Guru Raiten. Great finish and Chelsea take the lead at Lyon. With Carpenter did really well. That is a great little touch. She knew where Guru Raiten was and she had to take it with her right foot and what a finish that is. With a less strong foot it was all set up for that little curl around the corner. What a finish and they've had to withstand a little bit of pressure Chelsea in the opening of this game but they have got the players that when you get the ball in those areas that they can score goals. A fantastic finish from Raiten. Chelsea win it back. Raiten into midfield but they've got it back Lyon and now Le Somer tries to weave away from Leopold. Ingle has it for Chelsea. Back to Leopold. So now Lauren James. Kerr on to Lauren James as well. Now has to try and get past Moroni. James. Oh hits the post and that could have taken Lyon by surprise all over again. It's terrific play. Stands Moroni up and then just tries to just guide the ball into the far corner. Great effort from Lauren James. Effortless. Go on from Carpenter looking for Cascarino again. What a battle that is by the way between Millie Bright and Elton Cascarino. Well Emma Hayes talks about the physicality to match Lyon's physicality and they'd like leading the charge with that. Raiten gives the ball away. Here's Aguerola. On to Dabricks. Dabricks with the opportunity and just wide. Whether it's Marajan or the Brits have the capability to use that space in front of the back four of Chelsea really well. It wasn't particularly as close as it first seemed but they're the areas that they can get into really cause problems for Chelsea. Chelsea trying to come forward again. Who took a chance but will be frustrated with that. It's a great little ball through to Sam Kerr who just peeled away from a marker really well. Well that will be that for the first half and it's Chelsea who go in at the break with the advantage. Raiten back to Cuthbert. Raiten with a cross in on the way over to Moroni. There was no other Chelsea players that were willing to collect that. Ball stolen away from Aguerola to Cuthbert. Gets the shot but strong hands from Endler. The full backs overlapping and then getting bodies in the box. Aaron Cuthbert showing the yellow card. Well this could be dangerous for Lyon. Cascarino off the post. Well Chelsea causing their own pressure there and Lyon almost took advantage. Really silly really from a Chelsea point of view. You know they don't really need to be playing in those sort of areas and just giving encouragement to Lyon that they can get back in this game. They've got Lyon where they want them at the moment but if you give the ball away in those areas and they're right on top of your goal. Ball over the top looking for Sam Kerr. Kerr plays it through and the shot comes in there by Guru Raiten again on that left hand side and smashes it into the side netting. There's Cascarino. Overlapping run and Lyon are allowed to keep on going forward. Carpenter who looked to release her strike. It's a footing right at the end but she's managing to find space to drive into just. Carpenter didn't find the pass on to Bashir. It was intercepted there by Lauren James. Great ball over to find Sam Kerr. Kerr looks to make it two and fires it over. Not finished off. She wasn't offside there was she? Definitely wasn't offside but she's made that run a few times now in this game but just hasn't made the most of it which is so unlike Sam Kerr. Get it on her left foot maybe she was just put under. Masri. Masri again looking to place it for Van de Donk. This is Van de Donk. She's looked lively since she's come on. De Donk just peeled off on that left hand side. She just did enough. Looked like she'd got something on it. A situation that they're familiar with. You know they're playing at home and hopefully we get a big crowd as well at Stamford Bridge. Now Chelsea have won the ball back. Ball forward Yann Arit in Carnery can pick this up. It's Carnery and it falls to save. A strong hand there by Endler. Well that will be that. A huge victory for Chelsea.
