Womens International Champions Cup
City will head into our Women’s Champions League last 16 second leg clash with Atletico Madrid needing a goal, after the Spanish outfit netted a late leveller in the home tie at the Academy Stadium.
Veronica Charlyn Corral struck with ten minutes remaining to bag a potentially pivotal away goal for the visitors, cancelling out Janine Beckie’s fifth goal of the season and hand Pablo Lopez Salgado’s side an advantage to protect in the second leg.
The Canadian forward had struck on 13 minutes, netting her fourth goal in the tournament this term, following her treble against Lugano last time out, to put the Cup double winners seemingly within touching distance of the quarter-finals but Atletico’s late rally ensured Nick Cushing’s side will travel to Madrid in a fortnight’s time with a tougher test to reach the last eight for the third time in four seasons
