Chelsea lose first leg of Women’s Champions League semi-final

By

Chelsea lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-finals. 

Melanie Leupolz scored a fortuitous equaliser for the Blues in the German capital before Hannah Glas curled in Bayern’s second.

Sydney Lohmann opened the scoring with a header after keeper Ann-Katrin Berger flapped at a cross from the right.

Chelsea were level before the interval after a clearance struck Leupolz and looped in.

But Glas’ left-footed strike means her team will have a slender advantage going into next Sunday’s second leg.
