With up to four Aussies and Matildas competing in the D1 Féminine, Beyond 90 will be keeping readers up to date with how our players and the teams they’re playing in are faring.
Round 1 saw three Australians starting their journeys in the D1F.
Olympique Lyonnais is the leader of the championship after their 4-0 win against Paris FC. Ellie Carpenter played 90 minutes and was involved in the third goal, winning a penalty which was converted by Eugénie Le Sommer.
“She comes from the antipodes, she is only 20 years old and we know that she has great abilities. It was like her baptism by fire today. We’re glad she’s here.” said Jean-Luc Vasseur, head coach of OL.
