Chelsea could not find a way to ascend to the top of Group D after playing out a goalless Champions League draw with leaders Hacken at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues would have climbed above their opponents with a win and were on the front foot for most of the contest, but failed to solve the visitors’ stubborn defence and remain in second.
Erin Cuthbert came closest when she clipped the underside of the crossbar in the first half, while the Swedish side barely tested Zecira Musovic in the Chelsea goal.
Lauren James looked bright as a second-half substitute, but the encounter was hardly the uplifting response the Blues would have wanted to Sunday’s 4-1 Women’s Super League defeat at the Emirates.
The Blues had the chance to leapfrog the Swedish side to top spot in Group D but couldn’t break Hacken’s resolve as the visitors held firm across 90 minutes.

The result ensures Chelsea remain second in their Champions League group, two-points behind Hacken and still with just one win in the European competition.
