Chelsea drew 0–0 away to Häcken in the women’s Champions League on Tuesday. The result extends the English side’s unbeaten European run and gives them a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the competition this season.

Chelsea had two goals disallowed and twice hit the woodwork. Goalkeeper Livia Peng made important interventions to preserve the draw in Gothenburg.

The point adds to Chelsea’s league-phase total, but the missed chances cost them the opportunity to take all three. The final position in the single league table will determine their route toward the knockout rounds.
