PSV Vrouwen progressed in the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup after pulling back a three-goal deficit, Glasgow City went through at Athlone Town, ten-player Hibernian bowed out to Inter Milan.

PSV Eindhoven pulled off a 4-3 aggregate win over Rosenborg, despite having trailed 3-0 from the away leg. They levelled the tie shortly after the restart, with the Norwegian side then reduced to ten players with a red card, Riola Xhemaili’s 65th-miute goal proved to be the decider overall.

Glasgow City increased their first leg lead at Athlone Town before the break through Emily Whelan. Nicole Kozlova came off the bench to bag a quick brace, the first with a header moments after her penalty was saved.

Hibernian hosted Inter Milan at Easter Road with a tall order of a 4-1 first-leg score to recover. Keeping it goalless at half-time, Hibs produced more of a threat in the second half but with 10 minutes to go, lost goalkeeper Noa Schumacher to a red card for pulling down an opponent after racing out of the box. Maša Tomašević grabbed a stoppage-time winner on the night for Inter.
