Jess Fishlock and Lyon are one step closer to reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) final after defeating German side Wolfsburg 6-3 on aggregate. Fishlock started both legs of the quarterfinal series, subbing out in the 82nd minute of Wednesday’s victory and going 58 minutes in Lyon’s first match.
