"last season's SWPL runners-up dominated the early possession, but they had rarely crossed the half-way line by the time Lee Gibson was forced into an 18th-minute double save. The Scotland goalkeeper parried a powerful shot from on-loan Kansas City Current winger Flora Marta Lacho and then denied former Everton forward Rikke Madsen on the rebound. Denmark international Madsen volleyed just over from edge of the penalty box, Lacho headed straight at Gibson, who then saved at Garcia's feet."
"Glasgow City must come from behind if they are to progress to the last 16 of the inaugural Women's Europa Cup after a 2-1 defeat by Kge in Denmark. Mille Gejl's stunning opener for the hosts was cancelled out by Amy Anderson's close-range finish, but Olivia Garcia's thundering second-half strike gave the Danes a deserved victory. City will know they must improve when they host the second leg at Petershill Park next Wednesday."
Glasgow City trail 2-1 after a first-leg defeat in Denmark and must overturn the deficit to reach the last 16 of the inaugural Women's Europa Cup. The hosts, three-time Danish champions, showed greater power and speed and took the lead through Mille Gejl's 32nd-minute strike. Amy Anderson equalised from close range after a Haley Lauder free-kick deflected to her, but Olivia Garcia restored the lead with a thundering second-half effort. Lee Gibson produced several early saves to keep City in the contest. Both teams enter the tie as domestic leaders, and the return leg is scheduled at Petershill Park next Wednesday.
