Itâs the first leg of the second play-off round for this seasonâs Womenâs Champions League with the likes of Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Juventus in action.
Hereâs what happened.
Scorers: Blackstenius 23â˛, Little (PEN) 57â˛; Leuchter 17Ⲡ83â˛
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Ajax as RomĂŠe Leuchter netted twice for the Dutch giants.
This game started brilliantly as opened the scoring for Ajax on 17 minutes before Stina Blackstenius levelled things up for the Gunners soon after.
The north London side eventually went ahead after the break as Kim Little converted a penalty on the hour mark.
With eight minutes to go however, Ajax equalised as Leuchter scored her second of the game.
Katue McCabe thought she had netted the winner in added time but her effort was ruled out for offside.
Scorers: McCoy 25Ⲡ58â˛; VitĂłria 38Ⲡ56â˛, Esson (OG) 78â˛
A brilliant game at Ibrox went the way of Benfica as they beat Rangers 3-2 thanks to a late own goal.
The Scottish side took the lead after 25 minutes as Brogan Hay crossed from the right to see Kayla McCoy head home.
The Portuguese visitors equalised jut before the break though as Ana VitĂłria finished well.
Into the second half and Benfica went ahead as VitĂłria scored her second of the game but that was cancelled out just two minutes later by McCoy.
This topsy-turvy game then took another turn as Victoria Esson put one in her own net to give the visitors the lead.
Scorers: SchĂźller 45â˛
Bayern Munich took a one-goal lead into the second leg of their Champions League play-off as they held on for a win against Real Sociedad.
The German side took the lead right on the stroke of half time as Lea SchĂźller finished with aplomb after some fine work in midfield by Klara BĂźhl.
And although the Basque side pushed for an equaliser it was Bayern who came away with the victory.
Scorers: Pokorny 8â˛; Nilden 21â˛
Juventus couldnât make the most of their dominance as they were held to a 1-1 draw by HB Køge.
The Turin giants travelled to Denmark fresh off the back of a domestic win over Roma last weekend with Joe Montemurroâs side unbeaten in all competitions so far.
It was the home side who took the lead though as Maddie Ann Pokorny netted inside 8 minutes but the Bianconeri went on to equalise through Amanda Nilden.
But that was how it stayed as the Italian outfit failed to capitalise on their monopoly of the ball.
Wednesdayâs games include Rosenborg v Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain v Häcken.
