In the 52nd minute, St. Pölten goalkeeper Karina Schluetten ventured slightly off her line as the ball was near the opponents’ half, but after Lyon regained possession, Yohannes seized the moment, took a risk, and perfectly capitalized on the keeper’s mistake.

This is already Lyon’s second victory in this season’s Champions League campaign, after defeating Arsenal Women away 2-1 in the opening round.

At the moment, Lyon sit third in the overall group standings, trailing only Wolfsburg and Barcelona.
