Lyon Women will welcome SL Benfica Women to Parc Olympique Lyonnais for the second leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal tie on Wednesday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 7-0 away victory over Lille in the Division 1 Féminine. Amel Majri was the star of the show as she scored a hat-trick. Vicki Becho scored a brace and provided an assist while Dzsenifer Marozsan and Liana Joseph scored a goal each.
Benfica, meanwhile, suffered an initial scare to eventually thrash Braga 4-1 at home in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino. Vitoria Almeida gave the visitors the lead in the 11th minute while Andreia Faria drew the game level in the 19th minute. Kika Nazareth scored a second-half brace, with her goals coming either side of Marie-Yasmine Alidou d'Anjou's 84th-minute strike.
Lyon hold the advantage in the tie, having claimed a 2-1 comeback victory in the first leg in Portugal last week. They went behind to Andreia Faria's 43rd-minute strike but second-half goals from Delphine Cascarino and Sara Dabritz saw them turn the game around.
The winner of this tie will face either Hacken or PSG in the last four.
