Women's team through to Last 16

News

Paris Saint-Germain eased through to the next round of the UEFA Champions League after a goalless draw in their second leg with Braga.

After their crushing first-leg win, the Rouge-et-Bleu sought to immediately apply the pressure on their Portuguese visitors in the return. But it was Braga who provided the first scare with Pratt firing just past Katarzyna Kiedrzynek's post. Two minutes later, Léa Khelifi did likewise with a free-kick at the opposite end of the pitch.

Just before the half-hour, Sandy Baltimore's effort was parried by Marie Hourihan (27') before Khelifi tried her luck from distance shortly before the interval.

After the break, the Parisians came close to opening the scoring twice. Jordyn Huitema fired just over the crossbar in the 49th minute with Khelifi coming off second-best in a one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper a minute later.

Coming into the last 15 minutes, Sævik, Périsset and Nadim all sent long-range efforts wide of the target.

Dolores Silva's long-range effort was pushed away from the top corner by Kiedrzynek, and Nadia Nadim was thwarted by Hourihan in the closing stages.

The Parisians will now learn who their Last 16 opponent is in Monday's draw (12:00CEST).
