Sealing the Victory
As the match continued, City had more possession, but Chelsea’s disciplined defensive structure kept them from creating significant chances. Chelsea managed to hold their shape and prevent City from threatening the goal, ensuring the final score remained 2-1 in their favor. Chelsea lifted the Subway League Cup, securing their first trophy of the season.
Next up for the Chelsea Women is another date with Manchester City in the Champions League, then another in the WSL, and finally the second leg in the Champions League all within a span of 12 days.
City have been a dogged opponent of the Blues and the Sky Blues made things difficult for them as the final stretch of the season begins to kick off.
