Wieke Kaptein tries her luck from range but the drive smacks the outside netting before dropping behind the Twente goal.

Well, well, well what does Sonia Bompastor do now?

She's already played most of the attacking cards she had in her pack. The players on the field have to step up now.

What a strike from Van Ginkel.

It's really poor defending. I've been so complimentary of Ellie Carpenter, but she gets dragged out of her position.

That is just exquisite from Van Ginkel. She almost uses Millie Bright as a disguise to curl it in. Peng has no chance.

Who expected this?

You have to say that on the balance of the game so far, Twente are well worth the point they are set to earn.

As Twente begin to get into the ascendancy, Sonia Bompastor makes another Chelsea change.

On: Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd

Off: Alyssa Thompson

What a ball this is. Chelsea play poorly to give the ball away.

It's brilliant defending from Sandy Baltimore. I thought Van Ginkel was going to put it in.

Ooo almost the opener.

Eva Oude Elberink whips a fantastic ball through the Chelsea box and only a last-ditch tackle from Sandy Baltimore stops Danique van Ginkel from putting the hosts ahead.

The delivery falls to Erin Cuthberts feet in the crowded penalty area but the Scot can't turn enough to shoot and Twente thump it clear.

Neat combination play again from Alyssa Thompson and Ellie Carpenter wide right but Alieke Tuin's interception means they'll have to make do with a corner.

Thankfully Nusken is up and able to walk off the field, high fiving Cuthbert as she makes way.

Lynn Groenewegen is also ok and will continue for Twente.

Sonia Bompastor has seen enough and thinks it's time for a change.

It's a double change actually, with former Twente star Wieke Kaptein replacing Maika Hamano and Erin Cuthbert coming on for the stricken Sjoeke Nusken.

Twente 0-0 Chelsea

Sjoeke Nusken and Lynn Groenewegen are both in a heap on the floor after a nasty clash of heads.

Both only had eyes for the ball.

Chelsea had 14 different goalscorers across their nine Champions League games in 2024-25.

Six of those scorers, Baltimore, Nusken, Reiten, Beever-Jones, Hamano and Jean-Francois, are currently on the field for the Blues.

That was the opportunity there for Alyssa Thompson to get her first goal in the Champions League.

It was the first ball that was offside, not Thompson.

Positives for Chelsea because in the first half, they were getting into those areas and not making the right decisions.

Chelsea move the ball well down the left hand side again which results in Sjoeke Nusken fizzing a low ball square for Alyssa Thompson to smash home.

Her joy is short-lived though because the offside flag is up again.

Chelsea turn the ball over in the final third as Sjoeke Nusken's pressure pays off.

She slides a pass forward for Aggie Beever-Jones to have a go at goal but she's denied by Diede Lemey.

Offside flag goes up anyway.

Fast start to the half by Twente as Leonie Vliek's cross is met by a volley from Sophie Proost.

It's blocked by a blue shirt though and Millie Bright lofts it into the clouds and away.
