UWCL 2021-22 Matchday 5 round-up: Lyon, Barcelona, Bayern & PSG big winners

Matchday 5 saw just one draw as six of the seven winning teams shored up their spots in the knockout round.

Here's a round-up of the action, including highlights.

WFC-Kharkiv 0-6 Paris Saint-Germain

PSG scored six times but finished the match with ten players on the pitch after Estelle Cascarino was shown a second yellow card in the 80th minute. At that point, the match had long been decided, with all six goals having been scored by the 54th minute.

Ramona Bachmann led the way with a pair of first-half goals, while Jordyn Huitema, Sandy Baltimore, Laurina Fazer, and Amanda Ilestedt each added their names to the scoresheet.

Servette FCCF 0-3 Wolfsburg

The German side took an early lead thanks to an own-goal by Ines Pereira in the 21st minute, but Servette was in the match until Wolfsburg scored twice (Jill Roord, Tabea Wassmuth) in the final 10 minutes of play.

Although they are tied on points, Wolfsburg jumped into second place in Group A, with Juventus heading into the final matchday.

Breidablik 0-3 Real Madrid

Kosovare Asllani's two first-half goals put the game beyond doubt, and Claudia Zornoza scored in the 82nd minute, as Real Madrid wrapped up their quarterfinal berth with victory on Wednesday.

Madrid will finish second behind PSG, who cannot be caught thanks to their six-point cushion atop the group.

Chelsea 0-0 Juventus

The lone draw on Matchday 5, Wednesday's clash in London was also the only game without a goal.

The point was enough to keep Chelsea on top of Group A, but the aforementioned Servette-Wolfsburg result pushed Juventus down to third place.

The drama will be high on the final matchday as any two of Chelsea, Wolfsburg, and Juventus can still advance to the quarters.

HB Køge 1-2 Hoffenheim

This is the only result that would keep Hoffenheim's hopes alive, and the Germans needed a pair of penalties to overcome a ninth-minute Køge lead.

Kyra Carusa struck early to give the Danish club the advantage, but spot-kicks by Nicola Billa in the 27th and 38th minutes were enough to give Hoffenheim the needed three points.

BK Häcken 1-5 Bayern Munich

Swedish side BK Häcken grabbed an unlikely lead when Stina Blackstenius found the back of the net in the 36th minute, but Bayern would storm back with aplomb. Four different players scored five goals over the next fifty minutes as the German club secured advancement to the knockouts.

Arsenal 0-4 Barcelona

Different day, same result for Barca against the Gunners.

The Catalans won the reverse fixture 4-1 back in October, and they did one better this time by keeping the English side off the scoresheet at the Emirates Stadium in London on Thursday. 

Barcelona has now secured a quarterfinal berth, but Arsenal will travel to Hoffenheim on Matchday 6 to decide the other Group C representative.

Benfica 0-5 Lyon

The Portuguese side was no match for the most successful club in the competition's history.

Lyon wasted no time asserting their dominance, scoring inside the first minute and keeping the pressure on throughout the match. Ada Hegerberg scored the opener and added another in first-half stoppage time, while Wendie Renard, Griedge Mbock Bathy, and Signe Bruun also added goals for the French giants.
