Decent save that from Ann Kathrin Dilfer.

Jenny Smith unleashes a stunning strike from a good 25+ yards out.

Brondby 'keeper does just enough to touch the stinging shot over the bar.

What a save from Kelsey Daugherty! Huge warning from Brondby.

Natalia Wrobel picks the ball up on the right and strikes in search of the far bottom corner.

Dougherty, though, gets a fantastic fingertip to it to deny and push it onto the post.

Thankfully for Celtic, luck is on their side further as Cecilie Buchberg skies the rebound.

Much-needed last-ditch challenge from Brondby in their own box halts Jenny Smith after a powerful drive down the near left.

Kit Loferski was waiting in the middle. Solid defending.

Couple of corners for Brondby cause a bit of confusion in the Celtic defence, but nothing too troubling for goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty.

Not much to report in the opening stages, both sides just acclimatising to their surroundings.

Sun is blinding out there it appears...

Kit Loferski gets us going in Oslo.

34 goals in five games for Celtic.

15 between this pair alone.

This is Celtic's return to the competition after missing out last time and meet Brondby in the league path of the qualifiers. It's only their second time in the competition.

Norway's Valerenga are the host team and face Belarussians Minsk in the other semi-final.

Celtic were fourth place in the 2021-22 qualifying tournament and take on a Danish side who were runners-up domestically last term.

They have won their opening two league games this year along with division leaders KoldingQ.

Like Celtic, Brondby were in the qualifying tournament two seasons ago, and lost their semi-final, but did take third place in their section.

Fran Alonso makes two changes from the side that defeated Hibs 4-2 on Sunday.

Shen Mengyu and Paula Partido come in for Natalie Ross and Celya Barclais.

Hat-trick hero Amy Gallacher will be hoping her shooting boots come out to play again.

I'm gonna hop off and grab a cuppa and a spot of lunch before we go again in an hour for Celtic against Brondby.

In the meantime, read my colleague Clive's match report here.

Catch you back here in a bit.

Not as convincing as the Scottish champions would have liked, but the win is all that matters.

Feet up now this afternoon, then back to it in preparation for Saturday.

That was Lauren Davidson's third goal of the season; she's now City's outright top goalscorer.

Job done for City, courtesy of goals from Brenna Lovera and Lauren Davidson.

Leanne Ross' side go again on Saturday against the winner of this afternoon's game between FC Gintra and Cardiff City.

The very kind-sounding announcer at the ground has just informed us there are four minutes of added time coming...

Less than five to go.

The League of Ireland champions could really do with a goal about now...

Former City and Celtic full-back Keeva Keenan darts off on a mazy run, but can't quite find her teammate Jemma Quinn.

Hasn't lost the pace.

Double switch for City with the impactful duo of Cori Sullivan and Kinga Kozak making way for Emily Whelan and Aleigh Gambone.

City comfortable now. We see it so often in the SWPL when they get that opening goal, the floodgates just open.

One more and you'd say it's game over with just over 20 minutes left.

As I mentioned earlier, there is a vocal section of Shelbourne support in the ground and going by their cries, and a glance at the club's social media channels, they aren't too happy with that opener for City.

They believe there was a foul in the build-up.
