Harder, who grew up as a United supporter, opened the scoring inside two minutes after being played in behind the home defence.In their first ever Champions League quarter-final in the women’s game, United refused to be swept away by that early blow. Captain Maya Le Tissier levelled from the penalty spot after the ball struck Bayern defender Glodis Viggosdottir on the arm. In front of a sparse crowd at the Theatre of Dreams, the second half took longer to catch fire until three goals in a 13-minute spell in the final quarter. Harder, who cost a then world record transfer fee when she joined Chelsea in 2020, produced another clinical finish after using her pace to burst in behind.But Bayern did finally hold on to their advantage once Momoko Tanikawa found space to fire into the far corner six minutes from time.“I’m frustrated with the goals that we conceded because they are pretty poor, but it is something really easily fixed going into the next leg where we know the threats that they have got now.” The German giants will be confident of reaching the last four when the sides meet again for the second leg next Wednesday.Barcelona will almost certainly lie in wait in the semi-finals after they destroyed Spanish rivals Real Madrid 6-2 away from home in the first leg of their quarter-final. — AFP
