Scorers:Ā Blackstenius 23ā², Little (PEN) 57ā²; Leuchter 17ā² 83ā²
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Ajax as RomƩe 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:Ā McCoy 25ā² 58ā²; VitĆ³ria 38ā² 56ā², Esson (OG) 78ā²
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 VitĆ³ria finished well.
Into the second half and Benfica went ahead as VitĆ³ria 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:Ā SchĆ¼ller 45ā²
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 SchĆ¼ller finished with aplomb after some fine work in midfield by Klara BĆ¼hl.
And although the Basque side pushed for an equaliser it was Bayern who came away with the victory.
Scorers:Ā Pokorny 8ā²; Nilden 21ā²
Juventus couldnāt make the most of their dominance as they were held to a 1-1 draw by HB KĆøge.
The Turin giants travelled to Denmark fresh off the back of a domestic win over Roma last weekend with Joe Montemurroās 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.
