Melchie Dumornay’s Stunning Strike Leads Lyon to Victory
Lyon, the seven-time Champions League winners, maintained their perfect start in Group B with a resounding 3-0 win over Roma. The highlight of the match came courtesy of Haiti international Melchie Dumornay, who scored an early contender for goal of the tournament.
Spotting Roma goalkeeper Camelia Ceasar off her line, Dumornay unleashed an audacious shot from inside the center circle that sailed over Ceasar’s head and into the net. The incredible goal, Dumornay’s second of the match, left spectators and teammates in awe of her vision and technique.
That was a moment of pure genius from Melchie. To have the awareness and confidence to attempt a shot from that distance is remarkable. It’s a goal that will be remembered for a long time.
