A tough score for the Royal despite standing up in London (5-2)

The Royal Society has stood up, but has not been able to achieve a good result. The team led by Arturo Ruiz has lost 5-2 to Chelsea in the London match, the one-way match of the previous phase of the Women's Champions League.

After a few local approaches, the Royal Society took the lead in minute 7, thanks to a spectacular jump from outside the area of Ainhoa Marín. The Catalan has put the ball in the same squad.

Then came the reaction of the London team with a shot from inside the Sandy Baltimore area that came close to tying in the 11th minute.

Then the Royal Society decided to pick up on the edge of its area and hand the ball over to Chelsea to try to get out against it, and so came the minutes of maximum control of the donostiarras. However, the goal of the tie came at the best time of the Basques, with a Naomi Girma score on the first stick in a corner served by Katie McCabe .

From there until the break, both teams have created some danger in standing ball plays, but the score hasn't moved.

The Chelsea started the second half with another gear to take the lead soon, so in the 55th minute the London team unbalanced the score with a header by Veerle Buurman in a corner well thrown by Lauren James .

The Royal Society, far from wrinkling itself, has shown a lot of personality and has soon sought the tie. In that sense, Cecilia Marcos has put the 2-2 in the 58th minute with a left-handed cross shot to end a play against it.

Then the local team started moving the bench and in 67 the Frenchman Melvine Malard, who debuted with the Chelsea today, put the 3-2 after a perfect hand at Julia Arrula .

With the passing of the minutes, the English have begun to notice more physical power, which has served them to sentence the match. Elie Carpenter, with two climbs from the right, has created the last two Chelsea goals. The first has been topped in the 74th minute by Lauren James and the second by Melvine Malard in the 87th minute.

The return game will be played on Wednesday, September 2 at 7:00 p.m. in Zubieta.
