BK Häcken v Chelsea
Chelsea held to surprise UWCL stalemate by BK Häcken
Chelsea were forced to settle for a point after being held to a goalless draw against BK Häcken in their Women's Champions League clash.
A frustrating first half for the Blues in Gothenburg saw them have two goals disallowed while Häcken goalkeeper Jennifer Falk made some important stops throughout the contest.
The Blues remain unbeaten in the Champions League, but ultimately slipped to their second draw from four outings.
Wieke Kaptein headed home for Chelsea in the opening minutes, but the goal was chalked off when Lexi Potter was ruled to have fouled goalkeeper Falk.
An entertaining start then saw Livia Peng called into action at the opposite end to push Tilde Karlsson's effort over.
Chelsea dominated possession and soon had the ball in the net again when Melvine Malard hit a low strike into the bottom corner, but the forward was marginally offside in the build-up.
Keira Walsh dispatched a low strike narrowly past a post just before halftime and Falk made a superb one-handed save to deny Ellie Carpenter minutes after the restart.
Alva Selerud went through on goal for the hosts, but Peng made a strong stop to turn the ball away and Chelsea went close again when Alyssa Thompson's shot was cleared off the line.
Falk made another important intervention to stop Manaka Matsukubo before Häcken broke in the 87th minute, Maja Bodin's effort being smothered by Peng.
A late surge from the Blues saw Maika Hamano's looping strike bounce off the crossbar and the hosts defended their box well deep into stoppage time to clinch a valuable point.
