Breaking: Lyon vs. Wolfsburg : French Club Wins Women’s Champions League For The Fifth Consecutive Seasons

Lyon continued their reign as Europe’s dominant women’s club side on Sunday, beating Wolfsburg 3-1 in the Champions League final to win the trophy for the fifth year running and a record-extending seventh time overall.

Ekohotblog gathered that the goals from France striker Eugenie Le Sommer and Japan midfielder Saki Kumagai allowed Lyon to lead 2-0 at half-time in San Sebastian, and Icelandic midfielder Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir’s late goal secured the trophy after Alexandra Popp had pulled one back for Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg entered the second half playing with a renewed sense of urgency, and would eventually cut the lead in half with a goal set up by Ewa Pajor for Alexandria Popp to head the ball into net in the 58th minute.

The German side would see time on the ball in the final third during the winding minutes, but were unable to find the equalizer.
