Carli Lloyd, Manchester City eliminated from Champions League

Carli Lloyd's Champions League dream has ended, but not without a couple of goals.

The Dash midfielder scored the only goal in Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Olympique Lyonnaise in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal series Saturday in Lyon, France.

It was not enough for Manchester City to advance because Lyon already had a 3-1 advantage. Due to the away goals tiebreaker, Manchester City would have had to win, 3-0, to qualify for the final.

Lloyd, who signed a short-term contract with Manchester City in February and will return to the Dash this summer, also scored in a quarterfinal win over Danish club Fortuna Hjorring.
