In front of a record-breaking attendance of 2,152 at the Academy Stadium, Bronze scored in the 41st minute to give City the lead, after a decent start by the Blues, missing out on a couple of chances.

Though US international and 2017 Ballon d’Or winner Carli Lloyd just missed out on her second opportunity of the night moments before the end of the game, the visitors failed to claw anything back.
