Lyon is heading to the Champions League final after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the second leg of the semifinal matchup and completing a 5-3 win on aggregate.

Lyon was in control of the game from the opening whistle, taking the lead on Ada Hegerberg’s header in the 14th minute. It was the Norwegian star’s fifth goal in five UWCL games.

PSG equalized in the 62nd minute, with Marie-Antoinette Katoto slotting in a deflected shot, and appeared on the verge of mounting a comeback.

A late goal from Lyon captain Wendie Renard put the contest out of reach for PSG. Renard rose high in the box and nodded in a free kick to restore Lyon’s lead in the 83rd minute.

The 2-1 scoreline held until the final whistle, securing Lyon a spot in the Champions League final.

Lyon will meet Barcelona in the championship game, a rematch of the 2019 final, which Lyon won 4-1. The game is set for May 21 at 1 p.m. ET at Juventus Stadium.
