Lyon dominates Montpellier in league win

OL Lyon secured a 5-2 victory over Montpellier in a challenging match, continuing its perfect league record. The team, coached by Jonatan Giraldez, made several changes to its starting lineup, keeping only two players from their recent Champions League win against Inter Milan.

Montpellier scores early but faces a red card

Montpellier took an early lead in the 5th minute when Ella Palis capitalized on a handball by Lyon's goalkeeper Féerine Belhadj. The team was then reduced to 10 players in the 32nd minute after Célia Chabod received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Substitutions help Lyon turn the game around

At halftime, Giraldez made four key substitutions, bringing on Melchie Dumornay, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Tabitha Chawinga, and Lily Yohannes. The change paid off quickly, as Katoto equalized in the 50th minute, marking a turning point in the match.

Lyon takes control with multiple goals

Lyon took the lead in the 55th minute through Korbin Shrader, and Katoto added a second goal in the 60th minute. Despite a defensive error by Belhadj allowing Bouchra Kharafi to score in the 75th minute, Lyon responded with an own goal by Molly Skurcenski in the 84th minute.

Dumornay seals victory for Lyon

Melchie Dumornay secured the win with a placed shot in the 85th minute, giving Lyon a 5-2 victory. With this win, OL Lyon now has seven consecutive league victories, maintaining its position at the top of the Arkema Première Ligue.
