Melchie Dumornay saves the honour of the Fenottes against Arsenal
In a tight match, Melchie Dumornay managed to score a crucial goal for his team at the 80th minute, giving the Lyons some hope in the semifinal return of Champions League against Arsenal. Unfortunately, this was not enough to avoid defeat (4-1) and elimination in the semifinals.
Despite this disappointment, Melchie Dumornay can be proud of her achievement, being the only satisfaction in this European failure. She scored her sixth goal in the competition, but that was not enough to reverse the score and avoid elimination.
In parallel, there will be a battle for the title of best player in the championship between Lindsey Heaps and Clara Mateo. Melchie Dumornay is also nominated for this trophy. Recently, she won the title of best player of March in the First League, an individual distinction she has shared with Lindsey Heaps since last September.
**The RC Lens
Last Sunday, at the reception of AJ Auxerre, RC Lens suffered a heavy loss (4-0) in Bollaert. Will Still’s men were beaten by trusted Bourguignons and released as a result of their official retention in the elite.
In addition to this defeat, the captain of the Artesian team, Florian Sotoca, was excluded for a nasty sole on Rudy Matondo at the end of the game (85’). This exclusion will lead to its suspension for the next trip to OL Park against OL (04/05, 5:15 p.m.).
Another bad news for the RC Lens is the suspension of Alexandre Lacazette for accumulation of yellow cardboard. The former Arsenal player will therefore be absent during the game against the Rhodoans. In his place, Georges Mikautadze should be titularized on the front of the attack. Replaced against Rennes last Saturday (4-1), he scored on his second ball hit thanks to a sublime acrobatic flight resumption that should give him confidence in the encounter against the Blood and Gold this Sunday.
