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.
  • After an agonising and rather ludicrous three-minute-and-10-second VAR check for the decisive strike from Jule Brand that made it 3-1 OL Lyonnes (4-3 on aggregate), the hosts burst into elation and swarmed Dumornay.
  • 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.
