Lyon v Slavia Prague: Women’s Champions League – live | Women’s Champions League

Key events

80 min: Horan looks okay to continue here as Lyon remain in possession and are hunting for their third goal.

78 min: It looks like she took an accidental elbow to the face, she is sitting up now.

77 min: Horan is down here and I think she has hit her head as they aren’t moving her too quickly, let’s hope she is okay.

76 min: Slavia Prague immediately run over to the ref, they think there was a foul in the build-up and there frustration is understandable as it wasn’t a handball. But the tap home stands and Lyon are ahead.

GOAL! Lyon 2-1 Slavia Prague (Becho, 74′)

Finally Lyon get there goal.

74 min: Lyon have had over 26 shots at goal but only the one goal so far, it’s so unlike them to waste so many chances. Bendova handballs, well it hits her chest but the referee judges it to be handball, and so Lyon have a free kick on the edge of the box.

72 min: The crowd are getting more animated here, willing their team to find a winner. Another cross comes in and another opportunity wasted.

70 min: Diani is limping off here, there hasn’t been any confirmation she is being replaced but this doesn’t look good.

69 min: Bacha crosses a lovely ball but somehow Slavia get it away, boos rain down as Lyon fans think two of their players were fouled but the referee lets play go on. Diani is in some pain and so the referee has to pause play for her to receive some attention.

67 min: Becho has some nice footwork in the box and it forces Slavia to concede a corner. It’s pinged in and Lukasova punches away, Sombath absolutely skies her effort from distance.

65 min: Slavia win a corner and it’s a good delivery but Lyon do well to defend. This looks exactly like the Lyon performance when they drew to Brann, all the chances but not the clinical edge.

63 min: Lyon have a corner but it is well cleared by Slavia. It’s not long until the hosts have the ball back and Horan crossed, Hegerberg squares it but no one is there to pick it up. Hegerberg is then replaced by Le Sommer, Van de Donk is also off for Dabritz.

61 min: Slavia Prague win a corner, both goals so far have come from this set piece – a Lyon counter attack and an effective move from the visitors. Can a goal come again? Well Slavia give it away immediately and so Lyon look to counter. They can’t move it as quickly as they did for their goal but they do get it into the area but three shots are blocked and then Horan’s effort is over the bar! Wow.

59 min: How have Lyon not just scored? Lukasova spilled the ball and Becho had the opportunity to tap it in but somehow the keeper manages to put her off.

57 min: A cross comes in from Lyon but Horan’s resulting header is wide.

55 min: They decide to run the corner out wider which is a waste as they don’t even get it into the box, a strange decision there. Bacha does win another corner a moment later. It’s pinged in this time but Hegerberg’s header is cleared.

53 min: A huge save again from Lukasova, Lyon would have had at least three more goals if not for the keeper, and then Diani’s effort is wide. Lyon do win a corner.

51 min: Majri is back on the pitch and right back into the action, she pops a lovely cross in for Hegerberg but it is just beyond her and she can’t convert. Lyon decide to not take any chances and Majri has now been replaced by Becho.

49 min: The corner is taken short but it is eventually popped in, Gilles gets a head to it but it’s wide. Majri is receiving some treatment on the sidelines, I think to her ankle, and so Lyon are currently playing with 10.

47 min: Marozsan is Egurrola’s replacement. Lyon start really brightly as they win an early corner.

Back underway! Lyon 1-1 Slavia Prague

So will Lyon finally score one of their multiple chances? Or can Slavia Prague pull off an upset? All to come. Slavia have made a change with Surnovska on for Moravkova, Lyon also make a change with Egurrola off. I’ll get confirmation on her replacement shortly.

Here are the goals from this one so far:

In the other game in this group the score line is also 1-1 at half-time between Brann and St Polten.

Cerna told DAZN: “I think we were really excited. It was disappointing to get the goal that soon but I am happy [we could score back]. They are going to win the game, we want to keep this score or win.”

Half-time: Lyon 1-1 Slavia Prague

Lyon were first to strike with a masterful counter-attack seeing Majri score but Cerna hit right back from a corner move to put Slavia Prague level. Since then it has been a great defence from the visitors to keep the hosts out. Can they keep it going in the second half? We will see shortly.

45 + 4 min: The corner has a good delivery but Cerna sees it out for another corner, can Slavia weather this late storm?

45 + 3 min: Lyon win a free kick and Bacha takes it but it’s a sensational save from Lukasova. It’s out for a corner.

45 + 1 min: There will be two minutes added.

44 min: Here come Slavia but Moravkova is judged offside and so their rare attack is over.

42 min: For all the Lyon efforts this game remains a draw so far, Slavia Praha will be so happy – that sounds patronising but they were 5-0 down after 25 minutes in the reverse fixture.

40 min: Majri takes a shot but it’s blocked, it then comes to Diani but it’s just beyond her and the chance is gone.

38 min: A lovely team move again from Lyon and the ball finds Horan but it has too much pace on it for the America to make anything of it.

36 min: Again another cross comes in but Hegerberg’s effort is collected by Lukasova, it feels a Lyon goal is coming – it’s just a matter of time. It should have been there, Hegerberg can’t believe it. Van de Donk crosses a peach of a ball but Hegerberg looks as though she slipped as she went to toe poke it home. There’s also been a really early change with Szewieczkova on for Stackpole.
