Women’s Champions League: Bayern overcome PSG to close in on top four
Bayern Munich came back from a goal down to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 and move up to fifth in the Champions League table.
Bayern Munich climbed to fifth in the Champions League table after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at the Parc des Princes.
Sakina Karchaoui’s 16th-minute opener was followed by an equaliser from Linda Dallmann just 110 seconds later, while Momoko Tanikawa and Jovana Damnjanovic made sure of the victory for the German side.
Bayern are now just one point behind league phase leaders Barcelona, while PSG are the other team yet to win a single point in the competition after four games.
Atletico Madrid also strengthened their position in the competition with a 4-0 win on the road against Twente.
Amaiur Sarriegi and Julia Bartel scored in the first half before Synne Jensen and Flamma Benitez completed the rout in the second period.
Atleti sit in ninth on six points while Twente remain outside the top 12 in 14th with just two points to their name.
Elsewhere, OH Leuven held Roma to a 1-1 draw as the Italian outfit were made to rue their wastefulness in front of goal.
Evelyne Viens put Roma ahead in the 18th minute before Jada Conjinenberg’s second-half penalty secured a point for the hosts.
Roma produced 2.08 expected goals (xG) from 21 shots, 12 of which were on target, while Leuven accumulated 1.89 xG with seven of their 18 attempts testing the goalkeeper.
