A mountain to climb for Wolfsburg this second half!
GOAL -Wolfsburg 0-2 Lyon -Saki Kumagai
What a strike from Saki Kumagai. The player of the match from the 2016 Final has just scored a fantastic goal!
She threatened with that type of goal early on.
The ball fell to her on the edge of the box and she elegantly whacked it into the top corner, no chance for Abt!
Le Sommer on fire

Wolfsburg need to wake up
GOAL - Wolfsburg 0-1 Lyon - Le Sommer
The cross into the box fell to her, she smashed it goal bound, only to find Abt keep her effort out. The rebound fell to Le Sommer and she didn't need a second invite.
She buried the ball under Abt and did well to react first.
Lyon deserve the lead!

Good work down the wing from Pernille Harder to glide past Wendie Renard. The cross from Harder fell to Pajor, but she couldn't connect with the shot!
Wolfsburg 0-0 Lyon
She glided past the Wolfsburg defence but saw her shot saved by Abt.
Lyon building momentum here!
