US EditionWCL Round-up: Chelsea End Losing Run with Barca Draw
Chelsea led early through Ellie Carpenter but a VAR offside denied Catarina Macario's late winner, leaving them sixth in the group after four matches, manager Sonia Bompastor said.
- Sunday, Chelsea Women drew 1-1 with FC Barcelona Women at Stamford Bridge after a late VAR offside disallowed a would-be winner, forcing the hosts to settle for a point.
- A technical failure at Stamford Bridge caused a stoppage when TV screens went down and referee Tess Olofsson had equipment problems, extending first-half time.
- Ellie Carpenter put Chelsea ahead after a quick passing move with Aggie Beever-Jones before rifling the ball in, while Ewa Pajor levelled by sweeping home after Claudia Pina's corner was not cleared; Erin Cuthbert required treatment after a collision with Aitana Bonmatí.
- The draw left Chelsea Women sixth in the group after four fixtures and outside the top four that earn automatic quarter-final qualification, missing a chance to improve against a rarely beaten opponent.
- Bompastor turned to her bench with 18 minutes left and Catarina Macario's involvement almost produced an instant impact as Chelsea threatened late with Carpenter missing a gilt-edged chance.
