WCL roundup: Slavia Prague grab famous draw

Slavia Prague caused a major surprise as they scored in stoppage time to grab a 2-2 draw against eight-times Champions League winners Lyon. The unfancied Czechs were beaten 9-0 in the reverse Group B fixture at their home ground but put in a courageous display to earn a point at the OL Stadium thanks to midfielder Kristina Kosikova’s late strike, which deflected in off the unfortunate Vanessa Gilles and was given as an own goal.

The Slavia Prague goalkeeper Olivie Lukasova kept her team in the match with a string of fine saves. Lyon had 32 attempts at goal but found the net only twice, with Amel Majiri scoring after four minutes and then Vicki Becho tapping home on 74 minutes for what many observers would have thought the winner.

The final whistle was met with joyous scenes among the Prague players, who held hands and ran en masse towards the away end. The draw means Prague finish third in the group, with Lyon having already secured top spot.

In the other Group B match Norway’s Brann came from a goal behind to beat St Pölten 2-1, securing their spot as runners-up. Sarah Mattner had given the Austrians the lead early in the game but Brann dominated thereafter and Amalie Eikeland’s injury-time header earned all three points.

St Pölten captain, Jennifer Klein, was understandably deflated: “Conceding a goal in the 90th minute is just … I don’t know. I don’t have any words now, but I think we had some good phases in the game too. Brann are a very good team and I think they were supposed to win today.”

In Group A, Benfica ended Barcelona’s perfect record in the Champions League this season in a thrilling, topsy-turvy 4-4 draw at Futebol Campus. Graham Hansen gave Barça the lead after 18 minutes, with Patri Guijarro quickly doubling the scoreline. Two goals from Benfica’s Marie-Yasmine Alidou brought the match level in the second half before Hansen, again, found the target to give the reigning champions a 3-2 lead.

Jessica Silva equalised for the Portuguese side in the 71st minute before Lucy Bronze had an eventful end to the game, putting through her own net in the 81st minute to give Benfica a 4-3 lead and then leaping to head home in the sixth minute of injury time to salvage a 4-4 draw and her side’s unbeaten record.

Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed third place in Group A with a 5-0 thrashing of Rosengard.

Thank you for joining me for this monumental draw for Slavia Prague. Many would have written them off before the game and resigned them to another demolishing score line. But they responded well to Lyon’s two goals to make sure they came away with a point. It doesn’t have an impact on the group table but it is a show of the progress they have made this season. The WCL quarter-final draw is on 6 February so keep an eye out for that. Have a good evening.
