Twente 1-3 Chelsea: Women’s Champions League – Live Reaction | Women’s Champions League

The other kick-off is at 8pm BST Lyon set an example with the 2-0 win against Wolfsburg. Wendie Renard and Lindsey Horan scored a great win for the European giants.

A fun fact for you, Guro Reiten’s penalty tonight was her 50th goal for Chelsea.

Ravensbergen had a chance In conclusion, I think she has done enough to win a starting jersey next time.

Full time: Twente – Chelsea 1:3

90 + 3 mins: Ramirez is found and she appeared to be offside, but it takes a while for the official to raise the flag, just before she was about to take her shot, the whistle blows.

90 + 2 mins: Beever-Jones makes a good run into the box but decides to keep the ball instead of giving it to Ramirez and is pushed out. The English international’s wrong option.

90 + 1 min: Four minutes are added.

90 mins: Here comes Chelsea, can you find a fourth? No, they can’t do that if Twente sort things out and try to counter, which doesn’t quite work.

88 mins: Chelsea gives the ball back to Musovic several times, but then loses it in a dangerous position. Ivens is all over the visitors again, but Mpome dispossesses them.

86 mins: Twente make another change, Te Braeke comes on for Proost. Chelsea are really running down the clock now, good game management.

84 mins: Possession changes hands quite frequently now, next up is Twente with an impressive move. Ivens, who is only 16, makes a phenomenal run to beat two Chelsea players but her resulting cross is cleared.

82 mins: Beever-Jones wanted a free kick there, but it isn’t given. However, Cuthbert is regaining ground in midfield as Chelsea continue to put pressure on themselves to get this win.

80 mins: Twente make another change, Andradottir moves to Ravensbergen.

79 mins: A nice game between Beever-Jones and Ramirez, but the Colombian’s resulting cross is blocked and Twente tries to counter. They can’t move it quickly and so their attack falters, eventually Chelsea manages to take back the game and defend.

77 mins: Chelsea had let up a bit after conceding the goal, but they are slowly building up their possession dominance again, the game is basically closed now anyway. But who knows, if Twente scores next, something else could happen.

75 mins: Twente have come alive since the goal, they look much more confident on the front foot. If they started the game like that, who knows what the result would be. The hosts make a double change: Van Dooren and Peddermors replace Ivens and Holst.

73 mins: Peter Chapman emailed and said:

Guro Reiten is such a reliable penalty taker.

I completely agree, Peter. You can see why she is the club’s chosen taker.

72 mins: Cuthbert has a looping ball back and it’s almost a howler from the Scotland international, but Björn manages to clear. Some sloppiness comes into Chelsea’s game.

70 mins: Bartel is in action for Chelsea in her first minutes, coming on for Kaptein.

69 mins: Twente deserved something from this game after their efforts and Van Dijk made the perfect run to receive the ball and pot it past Musovic.

GOAL! Twente – Chelsea 1:3 (Van Dijk, 68)

67 mins: Chelsea is now firmly in the driver’s seat, but that doesn’t mean they don’t take their eyes off the wheel at certain moments. Twente definitely had their chances and if they had taken them I don’t think they would have been ahead, but they would definitely have scored a few shots.

65 mins: By the way, Reiten was only substituted shortly after the half-time break, so please excuse me for not subbing in for this update. Twente wants to strike back immediately, Van Dooren shoots, but Musovic saves.

PENALTY! Twente – Chelsea 0:3 (Riding, 62)

62 mins: Penalty for Chelsea after Ramirez was fouled in the penalty area! Just a moment later, Twente had the chance.

60 mins: There are so many good things about this side of Twente, but the lack of connectivity and communication has really let it down. Chelsea make changes: Jean-Francois replaces Cuthbert and Kaneryd replaces Ramirez.

58 mins: It’s an end-to-end here as Chelsea get forward again, Kaneryd crosses but Clark gets to the spot first.

56 mins: Peddermors puts Twente in the goal, but their cross has too much to offer and the chance is wasted. Twente really pose a threat at times and it’s clear to see how they beat Celtic last week. Their game against Real Madrid will be an interesting watch.

54 mins: Hamano has had a good game so far, she gets herself into a great position and lines up the ball, but it just misses. So far she has been a real performer and is aiming for more playing time.

52 mins: Twente have chances in this match, they just can’t convert them. This time the ball went back to Van Dooren, but Musovic parried quite easily.

50 mins: Dave reached out to us asking for an update on Lauren James, who was a late starter. He wonders if there’s trouble with James in the camp, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. Such a late change will be something like an injury or illness. Chelsea have not yet confirmed the incident.

49 mins: Twente really need to be the next to score in this game, but they just don’t seem to be finding their footing at the moment.

47 mins: Chelsea starts the half just like the first with optimistic energy.

On the road again: Twente – Chelsea 0-2

Two games have already taken place today Real Madrid beat Celtic 4-0 and Galatasaray lost 1-6 to Roma. At the other kick-off at 8pm BST, Lyon led against Wolfsburg after a header from Wendie Renard.

Here are the goals from the game so far:

Beever-Jones doesn’t look comfortableI wouldn’t be surprised if she was substituted at half-time.

Half time: Twente – Chelsea 0:2

45 + 1 min: A minute is added and Chelsea have a corner.

44 mins: It ends in a goal kick, but that has certainly been 90% Chelsea so far.

43 mins: Perisset drives the ball over the goal, but there is no one there to block it, so Clark is able to intercept. Twente decide to play from the back, which backfires as they send it into the stands to give the Blues another platform.

41 mins: It’s pretty scary to think about the players Chelsea could use in the second half: Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, Guro Reiten. So far they don’t need them as the star-studded starting XI is doing just fine on its own.

39 mins: Pretty much the pun from Peter via email:

Question about leadership potential. Is Chelsea’s Wieke Kaptein important?

You’re kidding, but I could see it!

37 mins: I think one of them is reading my blog because since my last post Twente have kept the ball and played good football. All you need is the final pass to create a chance.
