Manchester City Women survived a dramatic late scare as they drew 1-1 with Real Madrid in the Women's Champions League on Thursday, with a last-minute goal for the visitors ruled out.
Silvia Cristobal thought she had secured all three points for Real Madrid in the final minute, but referee Silvia Gasperotti disallowed the goal after Cristobal collided with City's Beth Mead during the build-up.
The result leaves both Manchester City and Real Madrid with two draws from their opening two matches, keeping them narrowly inside the competition's top 12 places.
Real Madrid took the lead after 29 minutes through Linda Caicedo, putting the visitors in control at Manchester City's training ground.
City, the reigning English champions, responded with greater intensity after the break and were rewarded in the 51st minute. Their pressing created the opportunity for Khadija Shaw, who drove the ball home to level the match.
Real Madrid came close to snatching victory late on, only for Cristobal's effort to be ruled out following the collision with Mead.
"We tried the second half much better than we started the first half," Shaw told Disney+. "Disappointed that we didn't win the game but definitely fought to the end and that's good."
The match was the first senior fixture involving a Manchester City team since the release of a report that found the men's team guilty of more than 100 charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial rules.
Paris Saint-Germain recorded a convincing victory over Leuven at the French club's suburban training centre.
Rasheedat Ajibade opened the scoring from close range after nine minutes before Naomie Feller struck twice in the second half, scoring in the 51st and 63rd minutes.
Sakina Karchaoui and Vitoria Yaya added further goals to complete the rout.
The match came a day after Paris FC hosted their first Women's Champions League home fixture at Stade Jean Bouin, located across the road from PSG's Parc des Princes.
Austria Vienna earned their first Women's Champions League goal when Modesta Uka found the net against Inter Milan.
However, Inter captain Ivana Andres equalised in the fourth minute of stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw.
That result left reigning champions Barcelona as the only team with six points after two rounds, following their emphatic victory over Roma on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, HB Koge secured their first victory of the campaign with a commanding 5-1 home win over Swiss side Servette after both teams had lost their opening matches.
