Lyon 'land' second win in Women's Champions League
Lyon consolidated their place at the top of the Women's Champions League Group B with a 2-0 win over Austrian club St Poelten on Wednesday.
The eight-time Champions League winners, Lyon, won their opening game 9-0 at Slavia Prague, and Wednesday there were 6 000 fans at a chilly Groupama stadium to see Danielle van de Donk open the scores with a header after just four minutes.
"It was a good cross, so I didn't have to jump or anything. It just landed on my head – it was a tap-in really, very easy," said the Dutch player.
An own goal from Leonarda Balog just after the restart made it 2-0 for Lyon, who take on Brann of Norway in December for a double-header on the 13th and 21st.
Brann also have six points after they edged Slavia Prague 1-0 on Wednesday following a 2-1 win over St Poelten in their opener.
In Group A Laura Freigang headed Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 ahead of champions Barcelona, who stormed back with a double from 20-year-old Salma Paralluelo either side of a thundering Mariona Caldentay shot to claim a 3-1 away win.
