Št-Plzen (women) and Sporting (women) played out a 1:1 draw in the UEFA Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round Finals on 8 August 2026. The match went to penalties after extra time, though the shootout result is not recorded in the available data. Both sides had chances to win in regulation but could not break through until the dying moments of extra time.
Št-Plzen took the lead in the 94th minute through F. Vago, a late strike that seemed to give them control of the tie. Sporting responded in the 111th minute when T. Encarnacao equalised, forcing the game into a penalty shootout. Yellow cards for M. Rukavina, J. Martins, an unnamed player at 56 minutes, L. Matavkova, and Filipinha scattered across the second half.
The penalty shootout involved five rounds with five goals scored and two misses. The sequence shows penalties at 120+1, 120+2, 120+3, and 120+4 minutes, with two misses among them. Without further data, the winner of the shootout cannot be stated.
Sporting dominated possession at 63 per cent and registered 140 attacks compared to Št-Plzen's 72. The visitors managed five shots on target and seven corners, while the hosts had two shots on target and just two corners. To be fair, the statistics tell only part of the story — Št-Plzen made the most of their limited opportunities with two clinical finishes.
The draw means both teams advance or face another qualifier depending on aggregate results not included in this match report. Št-Plzen come off a run including a 4:3 win over Young Boys (women) and a 1:0 victory against Austria Wien (women), while Sporting are fresh from a 5:0 demolition of Sisters Odessa (women). By then, the table goes out of the window in these games — one result at a time.
