The Blues took another step towards qualification for the quarter-finals with a 6-7 shootout victory.
Laura Blindkilde Brown swept home the decisive spot kick to earn City an extra point in Group A, after Khiara Keating had saved Demi Stokes’ penalty.
The tie had finished 3-3 after 90 minutes, with the hosts opening the scoring with a stunning long-range effort from Lois Joel.
NEWCASTLE 3-3 CITY | 8-MINUTE HIGHLIGHTS
City replied with strikes from Laura Coombs, Yui Hasegawa and Gracie Prior handing us a two-goal advantage heading into the final ten minutes.
But the hosts battled back to force penalties after a vicious Freya Gregory strike and, deep into stoppage time, a fortuitous ricochet from Shania Hayles.
Nonetheless, City held our nerve from 12 yards to remain top of Group A, and just need to avoid defeat against Nottingham Forest in our final group match to reach the last eight.
