  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 BST

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Chelsea lead at the break after a stunning 25-yard strike from Wieke Kaptein.

    But the Austrians have had chances to equalise so this one is not done just yet.

    You have to admire this Austria Vienna team who have come with the intention to play football against Chelsea.

    They have been excellent at the start and end of this first half and are arguably unlucky to be 1-0 down.

    Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor is a vocal presence on the touchline trying to get her team through this game.

    It's an absolutely brilliant run. It's poor defending, that is not so far away... it's these moments in the game that will lift these teams. I think [Austria Vienna boss] Stefan Kenesei going into this half-time will be pretty happy with his team.

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Austria Vienna still fancy getting something from this. Louise Schoffel strikes across goal and Livia Peng is definitely worried as she flings herself at the ball.

    But the effort is just wide of the post and Chelsea stay in front.

    What Chelsea don't want to do is take their foot off the gas like we've seen so many times.

    Melvine Malard tries to twist and turn on the edge of the Austria Vienna penalty area, only for Carina Wenninger to make a vital interception.

    Chance for Austria Vienna, from a well-worked short corner. A cross comes in, unconvincing goalkeeping from Livia Peng, who fumbles the ball and it drops to Virginia Kirchberger.

    She is falling backwards and has a near open goal to aim at, but can only shoot over the top. A warning to Chelsea that more work is needed.

    In response to David at 20:21 - you've got to be quackers to think that...

    Am expecting many more puns to be on the bill.

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Melvine Malard is eyeing up a goal on her first Chelsea start. Her France team-mate Sandy Baltimore sets up Malard, who opts to curl it at the far post, but she doesn't get enough whip on the ball and wide it goes.

    Alyssa Thompson is quick, we know that but those spaces down the channels are wide open. That's exactly where she will be dangerous. She had every right to go for the shot there.

  12. CLOSE!published at 27 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Austria Vienna

    Almost brilliant from Alyssa Thompson. She gets past Tatjana Weiss with ease down the right flank, getting into the penalty area. She shoots for the far post, but fires just wide.

    Soon after, Melvine Malard heads just off target.

    There are many more goals for the taking here for Chelsea.

  13. Keira Walsh went straight down the tunnelpublished at 20:26 BST

    That will be a concern for Chelsea as star midfielder Keira Walsh heads straight down the tunnel after signalling that she wanted to come off.

    It is not yet clear how serious the issue is, but Chelsea face Arsenal in the Women's Super League on Sunday.

    It could have been two.

    Austria Vienna just can't cope with the pace and trickery of Alyssa Thompson and she runs at the away defence, before setting up Sjoeke Nusken.

    The Germany international could have gone for goal herself, but instead tries to find team-mate Sandy Baltimore, but the final ball is not great and Austria Vienna are able to clear.

    Austria Vienna's Modesta Uka thinks she is through on goal, but she had clipped the heels of Kadeisha Buchanan and is called for a foul before she can get a shot away.

    You don't see this celebration too often.

    Don't try this at home.

    Let's hope Malard doesn't duck her responsibilities tonight

    Chelsea are going to be forced into an early change as Keira Walsh is going to have to come off for Lexi Potter.

    Wieke Kaptein hit a warning shot earlier on in what has been a competitive match.

    It was expected to be a walkover for Chelsea but the Dutch attacker scored a thunderbolt strike with her second effort and you now wonder if this will remain close.

    Austria Vienna came into the match as heavy outsiders and one local outlet pointed out that Chelsea Women's squad is worth more than Austria Vienna's men's and women's teams combined.

    Also, Chelsea are clearly playing with a back four, despite the Uefa teamsheet listing them in a 3-5-2 formation.

    A chance for Vienna to draw level as a corner from the right drops to Katharina Schlechtl and she is unmarked and able to produce a looping header from the back of the box.

    Luckily for the Blues, the ball drifts just wide.
