Beth Mead scored to give Arsenal Women a narrow win over FC Twente and move them onto nine points in the UWCL table with one game to go. Elsewhere, Real Madrid won despite two red cards.

St. Pölten 0-5 Juventus
Arsenal 1-0 FC Twente
Paris Saint-Germain 0-0 OH Leuven
Real Madrid 2-0 Wolfsburg

Arsenal took the lead after the ball was gifted to them, with Alessia Russo picking out Beth Mead to score just 10 minutes in. In the latter stages of the second half, Russo headed against the bar from Frida Maanum’s cross, as Arsenal struggled to secure all three points. But the 1-0 result was sufficient to secure a place in the knockout stages.

Juventus moved up to 10 points from five games, scoring all five goals in their match at St. Pölten. Cristiana Girelli netted two penalties, while Amalie Vangsgaard, Tatiana Pinto and Paula Krumbiegel also found the back of the net.

Real Madrid led Wolfsburg through Maria Mendez but had Maelle Lakrar dismissed during first-half added time. However, Linda Caicedo doubled their advantage midway through the second half. Madrid also had Iris Ashley red-carded in stoppage time but took a third win which lifted them above Wolfsburg in the table.

Paris Saint-Germain finally got on the board at the fifth attempt, earning their first point in a goalless match against OH Leuven, who have drawn three of their games.
