RISKY!
Risky from Eriksson at the back as she hesitates on releasing the ball and is immediately closed down by Van de Donk. The Chelsea defender does well to hold her nerve and win the free-kick.
50'
OVER FROM KERR
Kerr watches the ball all the way, allowing it to bounce in front of her as she attempts a half-volley from a tight angle. It's a very difficult technique and the Chelsea forward can't quite find the target.
49'
ENDLER SAVE
Chelsea's Reiten finds space in the middle of the park and lines up a shot from 25 yards. She gets plenty of curl but not the necessary power or angle to beat Endler.
47'
LYON SUB
Ada Hegerberg, the competition's all-time leading scorer, came on for Lyon at the break, making her first appearance in Europe since last year's final.
She replaced Bruun.

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 LYON
It's so far so good for Emma Hayes' side, who still lead 1-0 on aggregate with 45 minutes remaining.

TWO MINUTES ADDED ON
44'
POOR EFFORT
James is invited to have a shot from 30 yards but she doesn't catch it well at all and can only watch as it rolls well wide of goal.
41'
SUCH A WASTE!
Leupoloz sticks her foot out and catches Cascarino, conceding a clumsy free-kick on the right flank.
Bacha's cross is straight into the arms of Berger, though.
39'
HORRIBLE EFFORT!
Cascarino is free at the far post to meet Carpenter's cross but she gets her shot all wrong!
Chelsea can thank their lucky stars!
38'
IMPORTANT INTERVENTION
James chases a ball down the left flank and she wastes no time in drilling a dangerous cross into the box, searching for Kerr. But she's just caught flat-footed and is beaten to the ball by her Lyon marker Gilles.
35'
CHELSEA FREE-KICK
James shields the ball well in a dangerous area but she's tackled by Van de Donk. The referee signals for a free-kick, much to the frustration of the Lyon player who is insisting she won the ball cleanly.
34'
GREAT TACKLE
Brilliant defending by Gilles as she makes an inch-perfect tackle to deny a cross coming in but concedes a corner to Chelsea.
32'
TEASING CROSS!
Lyon's Horan has space on the edge of the area and dinks a dangerous ball - but there's no one in a white shirt to apply the finish.
29'
BERGER SAVE
Chelsea are asking for offside but play continues as Bruun from Cascarino's ball - at the far post - controls well but fails to generate enough power in her volley to beat Berger.
27'
JUST OVER!
Kerr pounces on a mistake in the Lyon defence, looking up and laying it off to Leupolz. She has a defender in close proximity and although she gets her shot away it's over the bar.
25'
FINE GOALKEEPING
Kerr threatens in behind with a clever run as she tries to race onto a ball over the top but it's great decision-making from Lyon's goalkeeper Endler to beat her for pace and clear in the nick of time.
22'
FINE SAVE!
Terrific play from James! She receives a short corner and with brilliant close control, she turns her marker inside out before curling a shot at goal from an acute angle, forcing Endler into a fine fingertip save!
