UWCL: Glasgow City LFC 3-1 R. Standard de Liège (agg: 5-3)

Glasgow set up a tie with Arsenal after a comfortable victory. The Scottish club were favourites to progress after a 2-2 draw in Belgium last week and they were too strong for Standard at Petershill Park, with the excellent Jessica Fishlock pulling the strings.

City took the lead in the 15th minute when Suzanne Malone produced a neat finish, before Denise O'Sullivan scored a brilliant goal on the half-hour mark when she volleyed in Sarah Crilly's cross from the right. Crilly increased the lead in the 56th minute with a fine strike from the edge of the penalty box to end the tie as a contest. Standard's Tessa Wullaert grabbed a consolation in added time.
