Torrense women secured a 5-2 victory over Apolonia Fier in the UEFA Women's Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round Finals on 8 August 2026. The hosts took an early lead through Janaina Weimer, who found the net in the third minute. Apolonia Fier had travelled after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Hammarbü on 5 August, while Torrense came off a 2-1 loss to Juventus the same evening.
Torrense doubled their advantage when E. Tonkin scored in the 26th minute. V. Troka came on for the hosts in the 28th minute, and K. Hamonikaj was substituted on for Apolonia Fier just after half-time. Weimer added a second goal in the 53rd minute to extend the lead, and E. Owusu pulled one back for the visitors six minutes later.
There was drama around the hour mark when M. Hayes converted a penalty for Apolonia Fier in the 64th minute. G. Konst was booked in the same minute and then immediately substituted off, replaced by O. Ukwuoma. The hosts restored their two-goal cushion through B. Latorre in the 83rd minute, though G. Ameyaa scored a late consolation for Apolonia Fier in the 88th.
Torrense were fortunate to come away with the result given recent form. They had lost their opening qualifier 2-1 at home to Racing Power before drawing 0-0 with Vitoria Guimaraes. Apolonia Fier's away record this season has been difficult, with defeat to Hammarbü being their most recent outing. E. Owusu received a yellow card in stoppage time for the visitors.
The win moves Torrense into a stronger position in the qualifying pathway. Apolonia Fier will need to regroup after the heavy defeats. By then, both sides will be assessing what worked and what needs attention before the next round.
