Scenes from the match

The match began with near-empty stands due to heavy security at the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium, where attendance was primarily local Kievans.[13] Lyon had the majority of chances in the first half, with several shots near the goal that were saved or deflected out of bounds. While Wolfsburg failed to register a shot on target during the first half,[3] the team had several attacks that were stopped prematurely by Lyon's defense.[14] Wolfsburg substituted two of their midfielders, Caroline Graham Hansen and Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir, to bring on winger Tessa Wullaert and relieve Gunnarsdóttir after she showed signs of fatigue. Wolfsburg's defense forced several long-distance shots from Lyon early in the second half, while the team's attacking players failed to create chances on counterattacks.[13] In the 69th minute, Lyon appeared to have scored the match's first goal on a shot by Amandine Henry, but it was disallowed by referee Jana Adámková.[13] During the first 90 minutes of play, Wolfsburg only registered two shots, neither of which were on target.[14]

Wolfsburg scored their first goal in the third minute of extra time on a deflected strike from Pernille Harder.[13] Two minutes later, a tackle by Wolfsburg's Alexandra Popp on Delphine Cascarino earned her a second yellow card and she was sent off.[14] Lyon's Henry scored the equalizing goal in the 95th minute on a long-range shot into the top corner of the goal. A minute later, Lyon's Eugénie Le Sommer scored the team's second goal on an assist from Shanice van de Sanden. Van de Sanden would also assist Lyon's next two goals, scored by Ada Hegerberg in the 103rd minute and Camille Abily in the 116th minute, as the team clinched their fifth Champions League title.[13][15]

The "home" team (for administrative purposes) was determined by an additional draw held after the quarter-final and semi-final draws, which was held on 24 November 2017, 13:30 CET, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[16]
