It is definitely very difficult to resist Olympique Lyonnais. Unbeaten this season in the championship, only one draw conceded for twelve victories. And the thirteenth acquired this Friday evening on the Grammont pitch. A real war machine that the Montpellier women tried to stop, with success for almost half an hour. Possession is Lyon, logically, but the Hérault women press and manage to get out of their defensive zone with the ball at their feet. Faced with an interchangeable bench where Egurrola's exit due to injury launches Dabritz, “heavy” in the area, the newcomer is unbalanced in the penalty area by Kethna Louis. Penalty which Horan takes care of (28th). Petiteau stretches on his left side to push the leather away. A Lyon push followed, and MHSC, huddled in front of its goal, ended up cracking on a cross from Horan, as a catch-up, for Renard's header and the opening score (30th).

A short-lived joy

Lyon does not release its grip, Marozsan tries her luck from twenty meters, with a shot slapped into the opposite hand by Petiteau (34th). She offers herself a 2nd chance on the left, shifts Dumornay whose cross back is taken first intentionally by Majri, unstoppable for the 2nd Lyon goal (38th). Montpellier has the merit of not letting up its pressure and keeping its intentions.

On a touch, Onumonu breaks free from the marking of an oriented control and sends Ouchène to the opposite, free of marking who deceives Endler (1-2, 44th). The joy of the MHSC is short-lived, who will be able to regret not having maintained this gap at the break. On the restart, Svava crosses towards Horan who slams the 3rd goal. Tough for the MHSC who had given themselves hopes of defying OL for longer. Lyon, who impose themselves in the air and whose athletic strength still puts the defense in difficulty. Petiteau goes fishing for the ball on Horan's head (50th), in reflex against Svava (52nd). But can do nothing against Dabritz alone to take a pushed ball at close range (1-4, 59th). Lyon continues its hold, without forcing, makes it turn with the entry of Le Sommer, of Hegerberg. A real scoring machine, to win. Montpellier will have resisted with its weapons. With a solidarity and a commitment that it will have to bring out in a week against PSG.
