Torrense saw off Kolos Kovalivka 3-1 in the UEFA Women's Champions League first qualifying round semi-final on Tuesday. The visitors took control early and never looked back, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions. By then, the pattern was familiar — a side that had already beaten their opponents six-one just five days earlier making it two from two.
Weimer Janaina opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and here's the thing about that goal — it came from a moment of individual quality rather than sustained pressure. She doubled her tally in the first minute of the second half, and the crowd roared them on as Torrense pushed for more. Kolos had to chase the game from that point, sitting deep and soaking it up while the visitors controlled possession.
Daiana Semkiv pulled one back for the hosts in the 67th minute, and for a few minutes it looked like the match might tighten. But Bruna Ramos ended any lingering hope in the 80th minute, and the visitors were in control of the tie once more. Kolos made four changes at half-time, trying to find a rhythm they had lost.
The statistics tell the story without embellishment. Torrense held 65 per cent possession and registered six shots on target compared to four, but it was the efficiency that mattered — one shot off target all afternoon. Kolos managed five shots wide, which says something about the frustration of chasing play.
The result means Torrense move closer to the next stage, while Kolos face another setback after a heavy defeat on their home patch. The gap between the sides is not just in the scoreline — it is in the manner of their performances, and the visitors showed they can dictate matches at this level.
