Away from this match for a moment, as Chelsea midfielder Keira Walsh says, "The governing bodies need to listen to the players," after Arsenal's Katie Reid ruptured her ACL.

“I think in my honest opinion, the governing bodies need to listen to the players. Maybe sometimes we do play too many games in a congested fixture schedule.

"There’s not enough recovery time. We’re ultimately the ones who are going through it. You can do the research but ultimately you need to listen to the ones going through it and how we can best find the solutions going forward.”

So Chelsea ended that half with 421 passes to St Polten's 122.

Chelsea also managed 15 shots to the home side's one.

A really one-sided half of football.

A really unnecessary challenge from Fanni Nagy.

It's a dangerous tackle and absolutely deserves a yellow card. She's lucky to only get a yellow.

That yellow card is the last action of the half as Chelsea lead 2-0 at the break.

Another booking. This time it's for Fanni Nagy with a late one on Keira Walsh's ankle.

Silly one.

Naomi Girma picks out Johanna Rytting Kaneryd with a defence-splitting pass but Carina Schluter is there to keep it at 2-0.

St Polten break forward. Carina Brunold decides to have a go from miles out and it's catching practice for Livia Peng.

It's a great example of transition play from Chelsea here.

It's a really nice first touch from Catarina Macario and she executes that shot hard and low across the goalkeeper. This is what every young striker is taught, make it hard for the goalkeeper.

Lovely stuff from Wieke Kaptein and Alyssa Thompson to free the American. She slides it across the box but there's no one there.

Chelsea are overplaying a bit now. Just have a shot!

Five minutes to go to the break. St Polten have barely had a kick but surely they'll be happy at only being 1-0 down.

So, on the disallowed goal. Unlike the WSL, there is VAR in the Women's Champions League but it's not guaranteed to be in used in every game.

Turns out it is used in this one, though.

The first booking of the game goes to Izabela Krizaj for a late one on Naomi Girma.

For all their dominance, Chelsea may be annoyed they haven't scored more here. Maybe we'll start seeing them take more risks soon.

Incredibly bizarre. Up until that point we thought it was a goal but it was clearly offside from Sam Kerr.

A sigh of relief for St Polten.

Sorry for the delay in telling you there, there was basically no indication that was the decision.

Scrap that!

We're back to 1-0, Naomi Girma's goal has been chalked off for offside.

Decent stuff from St Polten in the midfield. It's lifted over the top for Agathe Ollivier to chase but you're not beating Ellie Carpenter in a race.
