It is Corinne Deacon’s party from the start for the Lyon supporters, who ask “the Lyonnaises at the Blue”, in reference to the non-selections of Amandine Henry.
With a hat-trick from Signe Bruun, a double from Catarina Macario and a goal from Melvine Malard, the Olympique Lyon players defeated a team captained by Nigerian international Desire Oparanozie, Dijon 6 – 0.
Oparanozie who is the captain of Dijon, played all minutes of the game pushing to rescue her side but Lyon who has won the league on a record twelve times, are too strong for her side to handle.
American Catarina Macario scored twice in the first half (3rd, 37th), including a nice free kick. The French international Melvine Malard had scored in the meantime, with a superb technical sequence in the area (36th).
Entering the break, Signe Bruun, former Parisian, scored a hat-trick (47th, 66th, 78th).
Lyon remain at the top of the D1 championship thanks to a better goal difference (+15) than PSG (+8) and Nnadozie’s Paris FC (+7 ).
Dijon will look to bounce back against Saint-Etienne after the international break on Saturday, 25 September.
