Breidablik W 8-1 Chicșerada: Champions League qualifier ends in emphatic fashion

Breidablik W saw off Chicșerada 8-1 in the first qualifying round semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League on Wednesday evening. The Icelandic side had already picked up two bookings in five minutes when the visitors' resistance began to crumble. And here's the thing — this wasn't the dominant display many expected from a team that had lost 0-7 to Hacken back in February. U. Ulfarsdottir opened the scoring after just six minutes and doubled her tally nine minutes later. S. Sigurdardottir added a second before half-time, while L. van Bemmel pulled one back for the away side in the 25th minute. K. Arnadottir restored Breidablik's lead on 42 minutes, and the hosts were already 4-1 ahead by the time the interval arrived. The second half unfolded without incident until S. Sigurdardottir netted her brace on 47 minutes. By then she had made it 5-1 with a second goal five minutes later, and H. Halldorsdottir added a sixth on 53 minutes. C. Balasz scored for Chicșerada in the 79th minute only to pick up a yellow card herself on 90+1. Breidablik made several changes without disrupting their rhythm. U. Ulfarsdottir came off on 46 minutes after her double, while F. Katona and A. Efstratiou were both replaced at half-time. The visitors made three substitutions in quick succession on 65 minutes, and Breidablik followed with two more changes on 69 minutes. The result extends Breidablik's recent mixed fortunes significantly. They had drawn 1-1 with Aktobe and beat Dynamo-BGU 3-2 in August, but also suffered heavy defeats to Hacken on two occasions in February. Chicșerada showed flashes — beating Gloria Bistrita 4-2 in their last outing — but couldn't maintain that consistency against this opposition. This was a match decided in the opening quarter, and Breidablik didn't let the game flow away from them. They changed the shape at half-time and came for a cross they never reached at the other end. The scoreline reflects a comfortable progression into the final qualifying round.
