Championnat National de D1 Overview

Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor has cautioned her squad against underestimating Austria Vienna ahead of Wednesday's European opener. With the Austrian champions arriving in London as fearless debutants playing without pressure, the French manager insisted that the Blues must execute their tactical plan flawlessly to secure vital points at home.

Arsenal narrowly avoided a disastrous start to their Women's Champions League campaign as Mariona Caldentey converted a dramatic stoppage-time penalty to secure a 1-0 win over HB Koge. Despite dominating possession against their Danish opponents, the Gunners looked toothless for much of the evening at Boreham Wood.
