    Wow!

    Wolfsburg are usually one of the Champions League favourites - but this time they don't even make the group stages.

    Paris knocked out Arsenal in the first qualifying round. Quite the record.

    PSG are finding themselves with a lot of freedom in the final third.

    It's Grace Geyoro who wriggles free behind the defence this time. She plays the ball back and Mary Earps is attentive to catch the resulting cross.

    Both sides look to be at their most dangerous on the break.

    Tabitha Chawinga plays a driven pass towards Lieke Martens, who looks like she's got a clear path towards goal, but the offside flag is up.

    Geyse skips through the PSG defence and lays the ball off to Lisa Naalsund in the middle of the box.

    The Norwegian's touch is too heavy, though, and the chance goes begging.

    The hosts take the lead!

    Tabitha Chawinga beats Jayde Riviere on the counter and Mary Earps does well to stop her effort.

    But the balls falls out to Lieke Martens who curls excellently past the United goalkeeper. No stopping that.

    Huge chance!

    PSG launch the ball through defence and Tabitha Chawinga is through on goal.

    She rounds Mary Earps but Chawinga's shot is tame and Maya Le Tissier gets back to clear.

    A big let-off for the visitors.
