    "That was a great header by Lucy. It was a great goal, the keeper didn't have a chance. 

    "Hopefully that will settle some nerves and they can grow into the game more."

    Steph Houghton tries her luck with a free-kick from long range but a slight deflection takes the pace off her strike and it is an easy save.

    England midfielder Jill Scott is everywhere. She's at the centre of everything City are doing well going forward so far.

    She plays the ball through to Lucy Bronze, who squares it for Carli Lloyd, but she is off balance and fires wide.

    City do have real quality on the bench tonight, should they need to try and change this game at any stage.

    Nick Cushing has three senior England regulars on the bench in Nikita Parris, Isobel Christiansen and Toni Duggan.

    But they could also opt to call upon teenage striker Georgia Stanway.

    Mel Lawley and Kosovare Asllani have been switching flanks quite effectively so far for the hosts.

    City seem keen to get the ball out wide and cross it into the middle as much as possible.

    That route to goal did prove successful for them in the first leg, as Carli Lloyd headed in this tie's only goal so far.

    City midfielder Kosovare Asllani receives a neat pass from Keira Walsh and curls in a dangerous cross from the right, towards the far post, but there is nobody on the end of it for the hosts.

    "Man City should have been punished twice in the last few minutes. City need to be more alert and switched on. 

    "They are not their normal selves at the back tonight and I think they'll be disappointed with the chances they have given Fortuna here."

    Lucy Bronze's head took a right old whack there, as she challenged for a header, but she is made of stern stuff and will continue.

    It was a real 'ouch' moment, but City were just relieved to have avoided conceding.

  13. CLOSE!published at 25 mins

    Man City 0-0 Fortuna Hjorring (agg: 1-0)

    Fortuna Hjorring go very close again. This time a high cross falls to Caroline Rask at the far post and she has acres of space to control the ball and shoot.

    Her shot is blocked by Steph Houghton's armpit. The visitors appeal for handball but it the officials get it right. No penalty.

    But on the rebound, Rask should surely score... But drags her low effort wide, somehow, and City escape.

    Amongst all that, City's Lucy Bronze and Fortuna's Camilla Larsen clashed heads, but both players are OK to continue.

    Big chance for Fortuna Hjorring - and they should be level in the tie!

    The ball is squared from the left-hand byline to the on-rushing Camilla Larsen, 10 yards out, but she hits it straight at England keeper Karen Bardsley.

    City breathe a sigh of relief.

    Winger Mel Lawley cuts inside from the Man City right and looks to curl a left-footed shot into the far corner but her effort drifts wide.

    "That was just pure power that carried Carli Lloyd through the defence. She was unlucky not to score there."

    Man City 0-0 Fortuna Hjorring (agg: 1-0)

    With a brilliant run, Carli Lloyd almost opens the scoring!

    She beats two players and races into the area but just steers her low, left-footed shot wide.

    You might say, with her ability, she should have scored from there.

    But she showed great balance to tee up the chance in the first place.

    Fortuna captain Florentina Olar does well and feeds Camilla Larsen on the edge of the Man City area but her shot is blocked by Abbie McManus.

    Man City look pretty composed so far. As Nick Cushing's pre-match quotes suggested, they are a side who know that, if they play to their potential, should go through tonight. Nobody on the home side looks nervous at all.

    England midfielder Jill Scott has the game's first shot on target, after good build-up play from Carli Lloyd, but is denied from close range by Maria Christensen in the Fortuna goal.

    The ball goes harmlessly over the bar from City's resulting corner.
