Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Häcken in the Uefa Women's Champions League on 10 November 2026, a result that kept them unbeaten but left them frustrated after another night without a goal. Häcken earned their first point of the season in the competition and Chelsea moved up to second in the standings with eight points from four games before Tuesday's late matches.
Sonia Bompastor made six changes after the 1-1 draw with Everton at the weekend, but the reshuffle did not produce a breakthrough. Chelsea had to wait until the 71st minute for their best opening, when Manaka Matsukubo raced on to a ball after a corner and found Alyssa Thompson, who skipped past Jennifer Falk only to see her shot cleared off the line.
That chance summed up the evening. Chelsea pushed harder as the game wore on and Ellie Carpenter created 16 crossing chances, but the numbers did not turn into goals. Maika Hamano came closest from one of Carpenter's deliveries, clipping the top of the bar, yet Häcken stayed well organised and protected the point as the pressure grew.
The result mattered because Chelsea did enough to stay on course in the group but not enough to take control of it. They remain unbeaten in the competition, but a side with one point before kickoff made them look blunt for long stretches, and that is the part Bompastor will have to solve before the standings settle after Tuesday's late games.
