Lyon vs Chelsea LIVE: Women’s Champions League result and final score after Guro Reiten goal

54 mins: Morroni sprints into space on the left wing and brings a pacey diagonal pass under control. She whips a decent cross over to the opposite side of the box where Lindsey Horan arrives late and powers a header towards goal.

It’s a decent effort but Magdalena Eriksson is on hand to head the ball clear himself.

51 mins: Lauren James wins the ball back in midfield and plays a forward pass up to Sam Kerr.

Kerr flicks the ball on and tries to spin around Wendie Renard but the Lyon centre-back is too strong and manages to hold the forward up long enough for Christine Endler to come out and collect the ball.

48 mins: Carpenter’s attempted pass down the line is intercepted and cleared by Jess Carter. Chelsea are being pushed onto the back foot in the early stages of the second half but they’re defending well and keeping Lyon at bay.

Lyon boss, Sonia Bompastor, makes a change at the break. Eugenie Le Sommer is taken off with Vicki Becho replacing her as the number nine.

Chelsea get the ball rolling for the second half.

Lyon midfielder, Damaris Egurrola, speaking at half-time: “It’s the Champions League. One mistake and they score.

“We need to do better. This is not enough. Second half, we have to do better. Be more intense, keep the ball better – we didn’t have that. And also be more efficient in front of goal.

“We’re missing chances. We’re playing alright but it’s not enough for the Champions League.”

Guro Reiten has struck her first goal in this competition since netting away to Servette in last season’s group stage back in November 2021.

Surprisingly Chelsea edged possession in the first half having 54% of the ball. They’ll take that across the second half with this one goal lead.

Anything to bring back to England for the second leg will be a massive bonus for Emma Hayes’s team.

Lyon are dangerous though. They’ve created more opportunities but have lack a clinical edge in front of goal.

45+5 mins: So far so good for Chelsea. They’ve edged themselves in front despite Lyon controlling the tempo and most of possession in the first half.

It was a lovely finish from Guro Reiten which has given the Blues a slender lead. An injury to Millie Bright may upset the flow in the second half as Lyon will continue to come at Emma Hayes’ side.

45+2 mins: Chance! Perle Morroni makes a fine driving run down the left wing before slipping the ball past Eve Perisset. She darts around the defender, keeps the ball in play then flicks a pass over to Lindsey Horan who misses her attempted volley.

That would have been a certain goal if Horan had made contact with the ball.

45 mins: Five minutes of added time to play before the end of the first half.
