Slovan Liberec Women

Match report

Slovan Liberec Women beat Rosenborg 3:1 in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League on 23 September 2026. It was a result that overturned the script, and not just on the scoreboard. And here's the thing — the visitors had looked the stronger side on paper, and even in our pre-match prediction we had backed them at 46 per cent confidence. The match simply refused to follow that narrative.

Truxova opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, and by then Rosenborg were already camped in the final third, winning 14 corners to Liberec's two. Reeves levelled in the 39th, but to be fair the momentum had already shifted. Truxova restored the lead just before half-time, and Vithova added a fourth goal in the 46th minute after the break.

Rosenborg dominated possession at 60 per cent and registered nine shots on target against three, yet the result tells a different story. They created chances but could not convert them, while Liberec were ruthless when it mattered. By then the match had settled into a rhythm that suited the hosts — quick transitions, compact shape, and a willingness to live with the pressure.

Coaching changes came early in the second half. Nilsen and Rogde were brought on for Rosenborg in the 60th minute, but the visitors could not find a way back into it. Liberec made their own substitutions at the 67th and 78th minutes, preserving what they had built rather than chasing more.

The statistics sit uneasily alongside the result. Many shots with one goal means chances went begging, and that is what happened here. Liberec did not need to control the ball to control the match — they controlled the moments that counted.
