Chelsea remain unbeaten in the Women’s Champions League but they were frustrated in a goalless draw at BK Hacken.
The Blues dominated in Gothenburg against the Swedish side, but Sonia Bompastor’s side could not find a way through.
Twice Chelsea had the ball in the net in the first half. After just five minutes Wieke Kaptein was celebrating after steering in from a corner, but the whistle was blown with Lexi Potter deemed to be offside and tangling with the goalkeeper.
On 28 minutes, Melvine Malard raced through on goal and produced a brilliant angled finish, only for her effort to be ruled out for offside after straying beyond the last defender.
Jennifer Falk was Hacken’s busiest player, and she produced an outstanding save just three minutes into the second half, using a strong hand to deny the lively Ellie Carpenter from close range.
The key moments
5: BALL IN THE NET! Chelsea think they’re ahead as Kaptein steers in from the corner. But their celebrations are cut short for a foul on the goalkeeper from Potter.
28: BALL IN THE NET! Chelsea think they’re ahead again. Malard runs in behind and finishes brilliantly from the angle. But she just went too early to pick up the pass. Flag goes up for offside.
48: WHAT A SAVE! The ball drops to Carpenter after being played in by Malard. She has a shot but a strong hand from Falk keeps it out.
87: CHANCE! Hacken nearly steal it on the counter. Bodin in behind after a great ball in. She gets beyond Buurman but is forced a little wide and then Peng makes a great save.
