Slavia Prague P-P St. Pölten
Lyon had gone 2-0 up in only 13 minutes, with Amel Majri’s opener added to by an Ada Hegerberg penalty, before Justine Kielland rifled in a reply for the Norwegian side before the break.
Lindsey Horan sent off seven minutes after the restart, then four minutes into added time Signe Gaupset got the equaliser.

Barcelona are also through with two games still to play, after sinking Rosengard 7-0. Salma Paralluelo scored twice, there was a one each for Kiera Walsh, Caroline Graham Hansen, Claudia Pina and Marta Torrejon, plus a Jessica Wik own-goal.
Second-placed Benfica remained three points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt, whom they held 1-1 away from home after a penalty save at the death. Géraldine Reuteler had the hosts ahead inside the half-hour, Nycole Raysla netting the leveller with 19 minutes left and Lena Pauels saving Laura Freigang’s 94th-minute spot-kick.
