Chelsea 0-0 Juventus: Women’s Champions League – live!
I can’t imagine any of you will want to relive the last couple of hours, so I’m going to sidle quietly off. The final matches in this group will be played on 16 December at 8pm GMT, when Chelsea visit Wolfsburg and Juventus bank the three points they need to secure a place in the next round at home to useless if entertaining ceremonial punchbags Servette. Here’s Suzanne Wrack’s match report. Bye!
The Juventus manager Joe Montemurro scored a rare success in his battle with Chelsea manager Emma Hayes, as the Italians earned a point at Kingsmeadow in a 0-0 draw – in which Sam Kerr was booked for shoving over a pitch invader – to give them the advantage going into the final round of group games.
Emma Hayes had alluded to the anticipated intentions of Juventus, predicting the Italian team would play for a draw at Kingsmeadow in the second meeting of these sides in the group stage.
With the Swiss side Servette, Group A’s cannon fodder, up next for Juventus and their former Arsenal manager Montemurro, a draw and three points next week in Turin would be enough for them to progress from the group regardless of the result between Chelsea and Wolfsburg on the same night.
