Chelsea were held to a goalless draw by BK Hacken in the Women's Champions League on Tuesday, 10 November. The Blues remain unbeaten in the competition, but they dropped two points in the league phase after failing to break down the Swedish side at the Bravida Arena in Gothenburg.

Head coach Sonia Bompastor made six changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Everton on Saturday, and her team struggled to find a way through a well-organised Hacken defence. Chelsea thought they had taken the lead twice in the first half, only for efforts from Wieke Kaptein and Melvine Malard both to be ruled out for offside.

Chelsea's missed chances

The best chance of the night came in the 71st minute, when Alyssa Thompson rounded goalkeeper Jennifer Falk after being played in by substitute Manaka Matsukubo, only for her shot to be cleared off the line. Maika Hamano, another replacement, later clipped the top of the crossbar from an Ellie Carpenter delivery as Chelsea pushed for a late goal.

Hacken almost snatched the win themselves with three minutes left, when Maja Bodin got clear of Veerle Buurman and was denied in the closing stages. Bompastor was booked late on, and Potter was also shown a yellow card before being substituted.

What the draw means for Chelsea

The result leaves Chelsea with eight points from four games, second in the league-phase table behind Barcelona for now. Their remaining league-phase fixtures are against Paris Saint-Germain and Leuven.

In the other early matchday four game, Real Madrid beat Paris FC 3-0, according to UEFA's league-phase results page. West London Sport reported the goalless draw from Gothenburg, noting that Chelsea stay unbeaten but were frustrated by Hacken's defence.
