"17 min: Chelsea have a corner, to be delivered by Cuthbert the ball in is eventually worked back to Cuthbert on the left, who finds Beever-Jones in the middle: her first touch is a fine one, but her shot on the turn is met by an excellent block. Share 15 min: Rytting Kaneryd crosses from the right but Deja Davis is back to clear for Paris. Share 14 min: Hampton very nearly ends up handling outside her area after coming to collect,"
Chelsea controlled possession early and created repeated attacking moments through wide runs, crosses and set pieces. Key players involved in chance creation included Beever-Jones, Walsh, Cuthbert, Thompson and Bright, with several deliveries into the area. Paris compacted defensively, using timely clearances from Deja Davis and interventions from Greboval to repel threats. An offside flag nullified one Chelsea delivery and a near-handling incident by Hampton tested the referee. First-time cutbacks and shots were often miscued or blocked, leaving Chelsea with numerous openings but no successful finish through the first quarter.
