THE FIRST LEG
SPARTA HOLD ONE GOAL ADVANTAGE Sparta Praha take a one goal lead into next Wednesday’s second leg in the UEFA Women’s Champions League Round of 32. Two first half goals for the Czech side secured the victory but City grabbed an important away goal ahead of the second leg thanks to a terrific finish from Sharon Wojcik. City started brightly and an early free kick routine from Leanne Ross and Hayley Lauder caused the home side issues but there was no early breakthrough. Sparta grew as the first half went on with Lee Alexander making a few saves while Martinkova headed over from inside the penalty area. The opener came just after the half hour mark when a Sparta cross struck the top of the crossbar and bounced to Marketa Ringelova at the back post. Her strike was blocked by Love but eventually the home side scrambled the ball past Alexander and over the line with Martinkova claiming the goal. City went in search of an equaliser and Nicole Robertson nearly connected to Colvill’s cross but the keeper did enough to stop the City striker from getting to the ball. However it was Sparta who doubled their lead just before the break thanks to an Anna Dlaskova strike from the edge of the box that found the top corner. Scott Booth made a double change at half time and City started the second half brightly with Colvill pouncing on a mistake at the back and playing Wojcik but the Sparta defence cleared. That was the warning for the hosts and City made them pay a few minutes later. Colvill received the ball on the edge of the box and laid it into the path of Wojcik who curled the ball into the far corner. The home side went in search for a goal to restore the two goal lead with Chlastakova failing to control the ball when played through and Vystejnova’s acrobatic effort going wide of Alexander’s right hand post. The hosts had an excellent chance to make it three with a few minutes left after Pochmanova had rounded Alexander but Zaneta Wyne got back to make the block and win a free kick for City. City had late appeals for a penalty after Jenna Clark was bundled over in the box but the referee blew for full time instead to signal half time in the tie.

MATCHDAY PREVIEW All you need to know....
Sparta Praha arrive in Glasgow this evening holding a one goal advantage following the first leg in Chomutov last Wednesday. Lucie Martinkova and Anna Dlaskova were the goalscorers for the Czech side that night and continued their 100% record in all competitions this season. The Spartans as they are nicknamed have had no trouble finding the net this season as evidenced by some high scorelines including a 5-1 thrashing of rival Slavia Praha and a 10-0 victory over Dulka Praha in their last Czech league match back in October. Last season, Sparta were eliminated at this stage following a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Icelandic side, Breidablik. You can follow all the action from Broadwood Stadium this evening via our social media channels and the game is also live on BBC Alba for UK viewers or on GCFC TV LIVE PPV for non UK viewers.
