Yohannes started and played the full 90 minutes in midfield while Shrader played the final 25 minutes off the bench. Juventus’ backline stood firm for the opening 30 minutes but Lyon eventually broke through the Italian side’s resistance. Marie‑Antoinette Katoto scored twice in a four‑minute span to give the visitors a 2‑0 lead.

Melchie Dumornay extended Lyon’s advantage to 3‑0 before halftime. Yohannes added her name to the scoresheet with 10 minutes to play, netting her third goal of the season in all competitions. Shrader made it 5‑0 to Lyon with five minutes to play before Wendie Renard capped the final score at 6‑0 in stoppage time. The result extended Lyon’s winning run to seven matches in all competitions while also making it 12‑straight unbeaten.
