Mitrovica 0-10 Wolfsburg

Hayley Lauder’s fine strike after 11 minutes proved enough to give Glasgow City victory away to Chartanova and although Hibernian scored even earlier against Slavia Praha, the Czexh side hit back to leave 4-1 winners.

Siobhan Hunter fired in from a Rachel Boyle corner to delight the crowd of 1,267 at Easter Road but Slavia hit back hard with three goals in a six-minute spell close to half-time. Jarchovska bagged a brace and Kožárová later also completed a double.

Lyon began their defence of the trophy by netting nine in Russia against Ryazan, Wendie Renard and Ada Hegerberg both hitting hat-tricks.

Wolfsburg went one better in Mitrovica, Pernille Harder leading the way there with a treble.

Minsk will take a narrow 1-0 lead to Zurich thanks to Emueje Ogbiagbevha’s goal, a Caroline Møller effort also gave Fortuna Hjørring victory in Vllaznia, as did Nicoline Sorensen for Brøndby at Piteå.

Mandy Islacker’s late goal secured Bayern Munich a 2-1 result at Goteborg, Barcelona beat Juventus 2-0 away despite Maria Leon’s red card for a foul on Eniola Aluko, Alexia Putellas earlier scoring one and setting up another for Marta Torrejon.

Fenna Kalma scored three of Twente’s goals in a 4-2 success at St. Pölten, while Breidablik struck twice in the last dozen minutes to overturn Sparta Praha’s lead.
