Tabitha Chawinga, once the top scorer at Kvarnsveden, broke free at midfield and managed to score a powerful goal for a 1-0 lead.
”Sembrant’s intervention was unfortunate,” the German commentators said in DAZN’s broadcast.
On added time in the first half, Lyon had the opportunity to extend their lead to 2-0 with a penalty kick, which was reviewed by VAR, but Lindsey Heaps’ shot was saved by Maria-Luisa Grohs, who made a dramatic save at the post.
”Her finish was clinical”
In the middle of the second half, Lyon was able to widen the gap to 2-0. The team executed a nice combination and Melchie Dumornay found the net in the penalty area, giving the traveling fans at the small FC Bayern Campus (capacity for 2,500 spectators) a reason to celebrate. Dumornay was named the player of the match by UEFA.
”She had an outstanding performance and was very versatile. Bayern’s players struggled to contain her as she showcased her speed and her finishing was clinical,” UEFA wrote.
Ada Hegerberg came in for Lyon in the 71st minute, replacing Chawinga. Sembrant was substituted in the 90th minute, while her defensive partner Magdalena Eriksson played the full match.
The return match will be played next week.
