The game was still lost with 1: 4 (1: 2), which means that the Munich women failed after the home 2: 1.
Zadrazil equalized the lead of Chelsea's Francesca Kirby (11th) with her first Champions League goal. Ji So-jun (43rd) scored the 2: 1 for the English women. Pernille Harder (84th) made the decision. Kirby even increased to 4-1 in stoppage time. Zadrazil played through, her compatriot Carina Wenninger came in from the 76th minute.

Marie-Antoinette Katoto shortened for Paris (34th). The first leg had ended 1: 1.
