Bompastor rues missed chances as Chelsea held in Sweden

Bompastor rues missed chances as Chelsea held in SwedenChelsea Women boss Sonia Bompastor admitted her side were left frustrated after being held to a goalless draw by Hacken in the Women’s Champions League.Chelsea dominated for long periods, hitting the woodwork twice, having two goals ruled out and registering 32 attempts, but were unable to find a breakthrough.“Tonight’s performance was good in terms of the defensive aspects,” Bompastor said.“We knew what they wanted to do against us: they wanted to use the transition to hurt us behind the backline, and the defenders dealt really well with those situations.“We were dominant with the ball for most of the game. We created a lot of opportunities, but tonight we couldn’t score the one goal to win the game.“It’s a frustrating result. We came here with the ambition to win.”Hacken goalkeeper Jennifer Falk played a key role in denying Chelsea, making a number of important saves as the Blues were forced to settle for a point.“We also hit the crossbar, and the goalkeeper made some great saves,” Bompastor added.“Sometimes it happens in football, and you need to take the learnings and move on.“We have enough quality in the squad to achieve that, but tonight it didn’t go our way.”Chelsea did at least maintain their strong defensive record in Europe, keeping a fourth clean sheet in four league-phase matches.Bompastor is now keen for her side to quickly turn their attention to Saturday’s clash with Manchester City.“We have a quick turnaround with a big game at the weekend, so we need to refocus and move on from this one,” she said.
