Chelsea Draws with Häcken as Bayern Munich Beats Paris Saint-Germain in Women’s Champions League

Chelsea missed the chance to move clear at the top of the Women’s Champions League after a goalless draw with Häcken in Sweden on Tuesday. The London side would have gone top with just one goal from its 29 attempts, while Barcelona remained the only team to have started the competition with three consecutive wins.

In a later match, Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 to move into second place with eight points. Manchester City also beat Inter Milan 4-1, claiming its first win after three draws and climbing to seventh place.

Chelsea’s scoring drought continued, with the team having scored only three goals in its four matches in the competition despite collecting eight points. All 29 of its attempts against Häcken went unrewarded after Maika Hamano’s shot hit the crossbar in stoppage time. Goalkeeper Livia Peng kept a clean sheet for Chelsea for the fourth consecutive match in the competition, while Häcken’s Jennifer Falk was named player of the match.

Bayern went two goals ahead before the break after Pernille Harder led a strong attack in the 29th minute, then sent a low cross from near the goal line that hit Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek’s heel and went into the net as an own goal.

In the other results, Real Madrid beat Paris FC 3-0 with all the goals scored in the second half, including two by substitutes Leni Bernstein and Linda Caicedo, while Roma beat Servette 2-1. Barcelona’s match against Arsenal and Lyon’s match against Juventus were scheduled for later in the week, while Benfica’s match against Austria Wien was postponed because of forecasts of stormy weather.
