Champions League: Melchie Dumornay scores, OL Lyon crushes Juventus 6-0

Melchie Dumornay scored on Wednesday, November 11, during OL Lyonnes' 6-0 rout of Juventus in the Women's Champions League. The Haitian midfielder netted Lyon's third goal in the 40th minute with a left-footed strike into the top corner, following a pass from Tabitha Chawinga. UEFA named her Player of the Match.

Starting the match, Dumornay played the full 90 minutes. She also tried her luck several times: a blocked shot in the 4th minute, another just before halftime, and a long-range effort saved by goalkeeper Daniëlle de Jong on the hour mark.

Five goalscorers

Marie-Antoinette Katoto opened the scoring in the 31st minute, a goal confirmed by VAR, before doubling the lead four minutes later. After the break, Lily Yohannes (80th) and Korbin Albert (85th) extended the lead. In stoppage time, Wendie Renard had a penalty saved, but she scored on the follow-up play. Another goal by Katoto was disallowed by VAR in the 52nd minute.

A strong season

This goal adds to a good start to the season for the Haitian, who was nominated again this week for the UNFP Player of the Month award in the Première Ligue.
