💫 Lyon survive Juve test to reach semis; Wolfsburg knock Arsenal out | OneFootball

The final two spots in the Women’s Champions League semi-finals were up for grabs on Thursday night.

Here is what went down.

Lyon survive Juventus test to move on

Scorers: Hegerberg 33′, Mallard 35′, Macario 73′; Stašková 84′

Lyon will meet Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals after a hard-fought win over Juventus at home.

It was a testy affair throughout the first half as the hosts pushed forward to overturn a 2-1 deficit and their persistence eventually paid off.

Goals from Ada Hegerberg and Melvine Mallard in a two-minute span opened the scoring just before the break.

The visitors, however, showed they were not giving up just yet and kept themselves in the game.

Desperate defending mixed with uncharacteristically poor finishing from Lyon then set the scene for Juventus to find a late equaliser.

However, USWNT starlet Catarina Macario then added a third with a brilliant individual move to ease any pressure.

And while substitute Andrea Stašková added some drama when she made the match a one-goal game again, Juventus couldn’t pull off an upset falling 4-3 on aggregate.

Wolfsburg cruise past Arsenal into final four

Scorers: Roord 9′, Williamson (OG) 72′.

Wolfsburg set up a tie with Barcelona in the semi-finals after comfortably seeing off Arsenal at the Volkswagen Arena.

The hosts took just nine minutes to move ahead and it was a former Gunners player that came back to haunt her old club.

A goalmouth scramble at a corner led to Jill Roord poking home from inside the six-yard box to give the hosts a 2-1 advantage.

Leah Williamson then turned Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir’s cross into her own net 18 minutes from the end to heighten the task for Jonas Eidevall’s side.

The visitors almost immediately pulled themselves back into it when Vivianne Miedema hit the bar with a header before Williamson saw her follow-up turned on to the post by Almuth Schult.

Wolfsburg held out and reach the semi-final stage for the seventh out of the last 10 years.
