Chelsea earned a point in their away fixture against Lyon, the eight-time Women's Champions League winners and last season's finalists. The match ended in a 0-0 stalemate, with both sides failing to break the deadlock throughout the 90 minutes of play.

The most contentious moment of the match involved Chelsea forward Lauren James. Late in the game, the referee initially awarded a penalty to Chelsea, which would have provided a significant opportunity to take the lead. However, the decision was sent to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for review. Upon inspection, the penalty decision was overturned, and play resumed without the spot-kick being taken. Neither team was able to capitalize on their remaining chances, resulting in a scoreless draw.

While the match was characterized by defensive stability from both clubs, the reversal of the penalty decision remains the primary talking point. The result leaves both teams to reflect on a missed opportunity to secure three points in the group stage, as they continue their respective campaigns in the competition.
