There are some crucial second legs of UWCL action taking place on Thursday featuring some of Europe’s biggest sides.
Here’s the lowdown.
Scorers: Cantore 2′, Bonansea 72; Leuchter (PEN) 54′
Juventus beat last year’s UWCL semi-finalists PSG with a 2-1 win on the night adding up to a 5-2 aggregate victory.
With a 3-1 lead from the first leg, Juventus couldn’t have got off to a better start after just two minutes, as Sofia Cantore turned the ball in past Mary Earps after a goalmouth scramble from a corner.
PSG striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto was making a nuisance of herself and when she was tripped in the box the home side had a penalty, the spot-kick then converted by Romée Leuchter.
A well-delivered set piece from Juventus sealed their place in the group stages, finished with a superb near post header from Barbara Bonansea.
Scorers: Haavi 12′, Dragoni 14′, 55′, Giugliano 42′, Kumagai 45+1, Giacinti 62′, 90′; Saoud 23′, Marchão 59′
Roma won by a 7-2 scoreline in their second leg with Servette, making this a 10-3 aggregate win over the Swiss team.
The away side were cruising early on in this second leg, when a goal from Emilie Haavi following a defensive mix-up in the box put her side 1-0 up.
Two minutes later, it was 2-0 thanks to a lofted shot from an unmarked Giulia Dragoni in the box that put the Giallorosse 5-1 up in the tie on aggregate.
Servette responded when Imane Saoud latched on to a long ball forward and finished well from 18 yards out.
This was Roma’s night though, and they added two more goals before the half-time whistle blew.
The first was a well-hit shot from inside the box from Manuela Giugliano, the second coming in added time after Roma’s high press allowed Saki Kumagai to score.
Into the second half and Dragoni added her second, dribbling past the defender in the box to deliver the finish.
An inch-perfect curling free-kick from Joana Marchão gave Servette their second, an effort that was worth more than merely a consolation.
The game was now wide open, and Roma’s Valentina Giacinti made it 6-2 on the night with a glancing header, and added her second in the final minute of normal time.
Scorers: Capeta 5′; Toletti 7′
Sporting struck first as Ana Capeta went sliding in at the near post with some ferocity to made sure the ball crossed the line.
Just two minutes later, Real Madrid had their reply when Caroline Weir pulled the ball back in the box for Sandie Toletti to thump home the finish.
Scorers: Kelly 2′, Shaw 31′
With the score from the first leg standing at 6-0, Manchester City began the second leg in exactly the same fashion as Chloe Kelly opened the scoring after just two minutes.
Kelly then turned from scorer to provider when she picked out Bunny Shaw in the box, who did exactly what she does best.
The 16 teams who have made it through to the group stage of the competition will be drawn into four groups of four on Friday September 27th at 13:00 CET.
