Chelsea W
Chelsea began brightly, asserting themselves with an early goal in the 22nd minute and controlling much of the first half.

Despite their experience, Chelsea struggled to break down a stubborn home defense after taking the lead. The visitors' frustration was evident as they picked up two yellow cards, and their inability to close out the match allowed the Lionesses back into the contest.
