  1. YELLOW CARDpublished at 53 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Katie McCabe gets a yellow card for tripping Valentina Potzl, with McCabe nowhere near the ball, Decent position for the away side.

    But the free-kick is awful, low into the wall and easily dealt with.

    Alyssa Thompson, who operated down the right in the first half, is now on the left wing in this second half, looking to torment another full-back.

    She is so quick and charges forwards, only to shoot straight at Jasmin Pal in the away goal.

    Any criticism of Malard’s debut will surely be water off a duck’s back.

    There is one other match ongoing in the Women's Champions League, and it involves current holders Barcelona.

    But, at home to Paris FC, Barca fell behind in the fifth minute thanks to a goal from Evelyne Viens.

    However, normal service has been quickly restored, with Barcelona scoring four in the first half to lead 4-1.

    FT: Man Utd 10-1 Sheffield Utd

    Mared Griffiths scores hat-trickImage source, PA Media

    When Chelsea went to Manchester United and won 5-0, there was a lot of concern about United's new boss Eva Olid and their lack of shots and attacking threat..

    Fast forward 10 days, and United were unfortunate to only draw at Arsenal and have just demolished WSL 2 side Sheffield United 10-1 in the new iteration of the League Cup.

    Teenager Mared Griffiths scored a hat-trick, Germany striker Lea Schuller and summer signing Rebecca Bernal both bagged doubles, while England's Maya le Tissier and Ella Toone along with young defender Jess Simpson also got on the scoresheet.

    Looks like they've found their shooting boots.

    It has been a really good game. Both teams will be happy going in. Perhaps Sonia Bompastor [will be] asking a little bit more from her players in terms of rotations up top and can they exploit those channels, particularly down their left-hand side.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 BST

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Chelsea lead at the break after a stunning 25-yard strike from Wieke Kaptein.

    But the Austrians have had chances to equalise so this one is not done just yet.

    You have to admire this Austria Vienna team who have come with the intention to play football against Chelsea.

    They have been excellent at the start and end of this first half and are arguably unlucky to be 1-0 down.

    Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor is a vocal presence on the touchline trying to get her team through this game.

    It's an absolutely brilliant run. It's poor defending, that is not so far away... it's these moments in the game that will lift these teams. I think [Austria Vienna boss] Stefan Kenesei going into this half-time will be pretty happy with his team.

  14. CLOSE!published at 20:42 BST

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Austria Vienna still fancy getting something from this. Louise Schoffel strikes across goal and Livia Peng is definitely worried as she flings herself at the ball.

    But the effort is just wide of the post and Chelsea stay in front.

    What Chelsea don't want to do is take their foot off the gas like we've seen so many times.

    Melvine Malard tries to twist and turn on the edge of the Austria Vienna penalty area, only for Carina Wenninger to make a vital interception.

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Chance for Austria Vienna, from a well-worked short corner. A cross comes in, unconvincing goalkeeping from Livia Peng, who fumbles the ball and it drops to Virginia Kirchberger.

    She is falling backwards and has a near open goal to aim at, but can only shoot over the top. A warning to Chelsea that more work is needed.

    In response to David at 20:21 - you've got to be quackers to think that...

    Am expecting many more puns to be on the bill.

    Melvine Malard is eyeing up a goal on her first Chelsea start. Her France team-mate Sandy Baltimore sets up Malard, who opts to curl it at the far post, but she doesn't get enough whip on the ball and wide it goes.

    Alyssa Thompson is quick, we know that but those spaces down the channels are wide open. That's exactly where she will be dangerous. She had every right to go for the shot there.
