Key takeaways
- The return of the Haitian international transformed Lyonnes from the flat, uninspired side seen in the first leg into a team worthy of a Champions League final.

- Dumornay had been at the centre of it all: she won the penalty to break the deadlock, set up multiple chances that kept OL Lyonnes on the back foot from the get-go, and assisted the winning goal.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
