Manchester City Beats Hammarby 2-0 in Champions League

Manchester City maintained their perfect start in the Women’s Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Hammarby, thanks to second-half goals from Laura Blindkilde Brown and Aoba Fujino.

Hammarby, who had previously faced a heavy defeat against Barcelona, showed resilience and were supported by a strong contingent of traveling fans. The win keeps City top of Group D, three points clear of the defending champions, Barcelona, who also secured a decisive victory.

Coach Gareth Taylor had warned his team against complacency after Hammarby’s prior heavy defeat, and their improved performance underscored the unpredictability of the tournament.
