Chelsea Secures Women’s League Cup with Hasegawa Own Goal

Sonia Bompastor claims her first trophy as Chelsea manager in a 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Pride Park.

Chelsea defeated Manchester City 2-1 in the Subway Women’s League Cup final, with an own goal from Yui Hasegawa deciding the match in the 78th minute.
The victory marked Sonia Bompastor’s first trophy as Chelsea manager, continuing the team’s success after Emma Hayes’ departure.
Mayra Ramírez opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 8th minute, while Aoba Fujino equalized for Manchester City with a long-range strike in the second half.
Manchester City, missing key players like Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp, showed resilience but struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
The match, played on a subpar pitch at Pride Park, drew 14,187 fans and showcased Chelsea’s depth and trophy-winning experience despite their own injury challenges.
