"Sonia Bompastor's Blues, who won a domestic treble last campaign, were on the road against current Women's Super League leaders City, but Wieke Kaptein's header was enough for them to progress. Kaptein towered above goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita to nod home from almost on the goal line four minutes before half-time, after Sandy Baltimore got to the byline to hang over a tempting cross."
"At Meadow Park, meanwhile, a mistake from Arsenal goalkeeper Anneke Borbe gifted Elisabeth Terland the decisive goal as United won another tight affair. Borbe passed straight to Ellen Wangerheim in the second minute of first-half stoppage time, and she teed up Terland to give United an advantage they would not surrender. Arsenal winger Olivia Smith was sent off for two bookable offences just after the hour mark, following an unnecessary foul on Caitlin Foord deep inside the Arsenal half."
