According to a report by BBC Sport on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Chelsea were held to a frustrating goalless draw by BK Häcken in the UEFA Women's Champions League, despite dominating proceedings in Sweden.

The result extended the Blues' unbeaten start to the competition, although Sonia Bompastor's side missed an opportunity to collect maximum points against opponents who had struggled to make an impact in the league phase.

Chelsea entered the encounter looking to respond positively to their disappointing 1-1 draw against Everton in the Women's Super League at the weekend. Bompastor consequently made six changes to her starting line-up, with Livia Peng replacing Hannah Hampton in goal.

Nathalie Björn and Veerle Buurman also returned to the defensive department, while Lexi Potter, Sjoeke Nüsken and Alyssa Thompson were included in the starting eleven.

However, Chelsea struggled to translate their attacking intentions into goals as Häcken produced a disciplined performance to frustrate the visitors.

Ellie Carpenter provided an important attacking outlet down the right flank, with the Australian defender repeatedly pushing forward and delivering crosses into dangerous areas.

Carpenter created 16 crossing opportunities during the encounter, but her teammates were unable to make the most of her deliveries.

Maika Hamano came particularly close to giving Chelsea the lead when she connected with a delivery from the Australian defender, only to see her effort strike the crossbar.

Häcken, meanwhile, remained organised and demonstrated their ability to threaten Chelsea whenever opportunities presented themselves.

The hosts also came close to breaking the deadlock in the 71st minute through a dangerous attacking move involving substitute Manaka Matsukubo.

Following a corner for Häcken, Matsukubo raced onto the ball before finding Alyssa Thompson. The American forward managed to get past goalkeeper Jennifer Falk, but her subsequent attempt was cleared off the goal line, keeping the score level.

Chelsea increased their pressure as the match approached its conclusion, searching for a winning goal that would have strengthened their position in the competition.

However, Häcken maintained their defensive discipline and successfully prevented the visitors from finding a breakthrough.

The final whistle confirmed a 0-0 draw, giving both teams a point from an encounter in which Chelsea had been unable to turn their attacking efforts into victory.

Chelsea moved up to second position in the league-phase standings with eight points from four matches, behind Barcelona, while Häcken registered their first point of the competition.

Bompastor's attention will now turn towards Chelsea's upcoming Women's Super League meeting with Manchester City on Saturday, November 14, before their next European fixture against Paris Saint-Germain on November 18.
