Wieke Kaptein’s early goal gave Chelsea a winning start to their Champions League campaign against Austria Vienna but it was a far from comfortable evening for the Blues.
A David v Goliath scale try welcomed the visiting team at the Cherry Red Records stadium. The large financial gulf between the two teams was highlighted by the Austrian broadcaster ORF in the buildup, which reported that “Chelsea Women’s personnel costs alone for the 2024/25 season, at a cool €17m, were higher than those of the entire Austria club (€14.9m) – including the men’s department, by far the largest item.” Uefa noted that the manager Stefan Kenesei has a full-time job in state pensions insurance.
Sonia Bompastor did not want to take much of a risk, despite the gap between the WSL and ÖFB Frauen-Bundesliga sides and a large league game against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge coming up on Sunday.
A moment of magic from the Dutch midfielder Wieke Kaptein gave the Blues the breathing space of an early lead 11 minutes in. The 21-year-old was quickest to the loose ball after a slick sliding tackle from Katharina Schiechtl dispossessed Malard and she sent a rising strike in off the underside of the bar from 25 yards out.
Unperturbed, Austria Vienna instantly went in search of a reply and forced a corner which came to nothing. First Modesta Uka forced a save from Peng and Virginia Kirchberger fired the parried ball over the bar.
Chelsea went close to a second on the break after two corners in quick succession for Austria Vienna, when Kaptein met Ellie Carpenter’s pull-back and forced a save from Jasmin Pal.
