Austria Wien 1-1 Inter Milan (Att: 3,609)
HB Køge 5-1 Servette Chênois (Att: 775)
Manchester City 1-1 Real Madrid (Att: 1,938)
Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 OH Leuven (Att: 681)

Linda Caicedo charged into the box to put Real Madrid ahead in the first half, during which Mary Fowler’s header hit the crossbar, and Khadija Shaw saw her effort tipped over.

But Manchester City drew level six minutes into the second half, with Shaw finishing neatly after Yui Hasegawa won back possession.

A late scare for City saw the whistle blown before Real had the ball in the net, as Beth Mead had collided with the referee.

Manchester City sit 11th in the 18-team table after the second of six matchdays, that have seen only Barcelona win both of their games.

Rasheedat Ajibade put Paris Saint-Germain ahead inside 10 minutes against Leuven. Naomie Feller made sure of the points with a brace in a dozen minutes around the hour mark. Sakina Karchaoui was also on target before setting up Yayá for the fifth.

Ex-Manchester City player Nadia Nadim and former London City Lionesses’ Ireland international Kyra Carusa were among the goals as HB Køge defeated Servette 5-1.

Austria Wien couldn’t quite hold out for victory over Inter Milan, as Modesta Uka’s 21st-minute goal was virtually cancelled out in added time by Ivana Andrés.

Matchday 3 takes place on 28 and 29 October, with Chelsea and Arsenal hosting Roma and Benfica respectively, before Manchester City welcomes PSG on the second evening.
