pti-preview-theweek

Paris, Nov 21 (AP) Two goals in two minutes by substitute Kadidiatou Diani roused Lyon to a late-surging 4-1 win over Roma and a place in the Women's Champions League quarterfinals.
     Roma stung the record eight-time European champion by taking a 74th-minute lead that provoked a fierce fightback, started by veteran France forward Diani scoring from close range on corners in the 77th and 79th on Wednesday.
     Chelsea and Real Madrid also won in Group B to join Lyon in the knockout stage with two rounds to spare.
     Lucy Bronze's spectacular volley after just 64 seconds set Chelsea on its way to a fourth straight win, 3-0 over last-place Celtic.
     Teenager Linda Caicedo, the 2023 World Cup star for Colombia, was Madrid's standout in a 3-2 win at Twente after trailing in the first half.
     Germany great Alexandra Popp scored a hat trick and had two assists in Wolfsburg's 5-0 win against overmatched Galatasaray.
     That set up a key game on Dec. 11 when Wolfsburg hosts Roma, both on six points, with second place behind Lyon at stake. (AP) AH
