Lyon players put on an outstanding performance in first half by pressing all over the field and practically secured the game in a span of 4 minutes with Delphine Cascarino scoring in the 18th minute and Kadidiatou Diani in the 22nd minute.

It was a great game with both teams very engaged but Lyon never really let Paris hope they could come back, even when they had more possession and scored with Tabitha Chawinga in the 73rd minute. Danielle Van de Donk and Selma Bacha both provided excellent performances.

This match showed that PSG still have a long way to go in catching up to the serial winners. In their 6 games throughout the season, Lyon beat Paris SG 5 times (twice in D1 Arkema, twice in UWCL, once in the French up) and delivered only 1 draw.
