Lyon Dominates Manchester United in Stunning Women’s Champions League Upset
LEIGH, England (Interstat) — OL Lyonnes delivered a shocking 3-0 victory over Manchester United Women in UEFA Women’s Champions League group play Wednesday at Leigh Sports Village Stadium. The result defied a pregame projection that heavily favored the hosts.
Substitute Tabitha Chawinga opened the scoring in the 12th minute, assisted by forward Julia Zigiotti-Olme. Melchie Dumornay then sealed the dominant away win with two late goals in the 81st and 90th minutes.
The loss marked a disappointing start for Manchester United in the competition. Both teams now hold 1-0 records across all competitions that mirror their Champions League results.
