Chelsea Hold OL Lyonnes to Goalless Draw at Groupama Stadium

For the first time this season, OL Lyonnes left the pitch without either a win or a goal. Chelsea held the French side to a goalless draw at the Groupama Stadium on Wednesday night in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Key takeaways

  • OL Lyonnes and Chelsea drew 0-0 at the Groupama Stadium.
  • The match was played on Wednesday in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
  • Lyon failed to score for the first time this season.
  • The French champions also went without a victory for the first time in the campaign.
  • The contest remained balanced throughout the evening.

Chelsea deny Lyon a breakthrough

The Groupama Stadium saw a tight European contest rather than the attacking display Lyon have produced for much of the season. Chelsea matched OL Lyonnes over 90 minutes and prevented the home side from finding the decisive opening.

Neither team could break the deadlock, leaving the Champions League meeting scoreless. Lyon’s run of wins and goals therefore came to an end, although they avoided defeat in a controlled but frustrating night in front of their home crowd.
