Chelsea faced Lyon in a tense goalless draw at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, with a late penalty decision becoming the focal point of the match. Lauren James seemed to have earned a penalty after being brought down by Damaris Egurrola, but referee Marta Huerta de Aza overturned her initial decision after a VAR review.

Both teams had opportunities to secure victory, with Ada Hegerberg nearly scoring in added time, forcing Hannah Hampton into an impressive full-length save. Despite the potential for a dramatic finish, the match remained scoreless.

The game featured a lack of clear-cut chances, leading to a cautious approach from both sides. Notably, James, who came off the bench, missed a significant opportunity by shooting directly at Maria Grohs after receiving a pullback from Alyssa Thompson.

As the match concluded, both teams appeared satisfied with a point, marking a noteworthy return for Sonia Bompastor to her former club, where she had celebrated a Champions League victory in 2022.
