Servette Women defeated Dinamo-BGU 3-0 in the second qualifying round semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League on Monday. The Swiss side booked their place in the final stages of the qualifying tournament with a comfortable victory in Minsk. It was a decisive result that ended Dinamo-BGU's European campaign before it could properly begin.
Servette struck first through G. Nein in the 53rd minute, breaking a tense stalemate after an hour of cautious football. They doubled their advantage almost immediately when L. Strik found the net in the 58th minute. And here's the thing — just two minutes later, M. Sobal completed the scoring to make it 3-0, leaving Dinamo-BGU with nothing to play for.
There were six substitutions across the match, though none altered the momentum. P. Serrano, G. Marinelli, L. Strik, R. Kalinovskaya, A. Taraduda, and T. Markusheuskaya were all brought on at various stages. Dinamo-BGU switched to a back three at one point in the second half, but it didn't help them contain the Swiss attack. By then, the result had already been decided.
Servette Women came into this fixture with confidence, having won their last four matches in all competitions. They beat Young Boys twice and drew one, while also taking points off Zürich in two encounters. Their recent record suggested they would be dangerous opponents, and they delivered on that promise.
Dinamo-BGU's form had been mixed, with victories over Ferencváros and Vllaznia but also heavy defeats to ŽNK Murá and Young Boys. They had beaten Sparta Myjava 3-2 in September 2024, but those results didn't translate to the Champions League stage. The team switched tactics throughout the match but couldn't find a way past Servette's defence.
