Lyon Women will welcome St. Polten Women to Parc Olympique Lyonnais for a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Wednesday (November 22nd).
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 4-1 comeback home win over Dijon in the Division 1 Féminine. Maria Diaz gave the visitors a shock lead in the 25th minute but Alice Sombath equalized nine minutes later to ensure that both sides went into the break level. Daelle Dumornay, Ada Hegerberg and Sara Dabritz all scored in the second half to inspire the win.
St. Polten, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat to Brann at home in the Women's Champions League last week. All three goals were scored in the second half, with Rachel Engesvik and Natasha Anasi scoring either side of Maria Mikolajova to help the Norwegians claim maximum points.
Lyon's Champions League opener saw them thrash Slavia Prague 9-0 in Czechia. The victory took them to the summit of Group B, level on three points with Brann. St. Polten are in third spot on zero points.
