Reports: Ajax Women 2-0 PSG Women

Ajax laid down a statement in Amsterdam by beating PSG through first-half goals from Tiny Hoekstra and Sherida Spitse.

With 34 minutes on the clock, Ajax got their first courtesy of Hoekstra’s acute finish after Sakina Karchaoui had blocked Nadine Noordam’s initial effort.

The hosts looked to be heading into the break just a goal up until Clare Hunt took down Ashleigh Weerden and Spitse made no mistake from the spot one minute into added time.

Ajax had chances to wrap the match up in the second half, with a fine intervention by Jade Le Guilly denying Hoekstra a second when she looked sure to score, however the hosts did not need them in the end as they ran out convincing winners.

The first game Group C ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw between Bayern and Roma, thanks to a last-minute equaliser by Manuela Giugliano.

A 20th-minute strike by Jovana Damnjanovic and an own goal by Elena Linari four minutes into first-half added-time had the Germans cruising at the break.

But the Italian champions fought back in the second half through Evelyne Viens’ goal just before the hour mark and then Giugliano struck in the 90th minute to ensure the spoils would be shared.
