(Football news) The French team defeated the Red Devils 3-1 at the Parc des Princes in the second leg, sending them packing for an early continental exit. The Red Devils rallied from behind to hold their opponents to a 1-1 draw in Leigh last week.
The Dutch striker Lieke Martens scored the first goal in the 17 minutes Marc Skinner’s team was down in the French city, after Mary Earps’ feet had thwarted Tabitha Chawinga.
In the 57th minute, Sandy Baltimore turned the tide for Skinner’s squad by easily outpacing Hannah Blundell with her pace on the right flank and amazingly chipping the ball over Earps from a close range.
The Red Devils’ failure was made worse by a goal disallowed for a deemed shove on Clare Hunt by Leah Galton. As a result of their loss, Chelsea will be the only English team competing in the tournament proper.
Man United will try to get back on track when they visit Everton for a Women’s Super League match on Sunday. The Women’s Champions League group-stage draw is scheduled for this Friday.
