\nPARIS:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Katariina Kosola completed Hacken’s comeback to stun Real Madrid 2-1 on Thursday and remain top of Group D in the women’s Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Striker Signe Bruun had opened the scoring early on for the Spaniards before midfielder Rosa Kafaji equalised for the Swedish side just before the hour.<\/p>\n

With less than a quarter of an hour to play, Finland defender Kosola claimed the winner in Gothenburg to continue Hacken’s unbeaten start to the campaign, after two games.<\/p>\n

“We were very humble before the task we had, which was to win against Real Madrid<\/a>,” Hacken coach Mak Lind said.<\/p>\n

“We lifted ourselves in the second half and I’m very, very happy,” he added.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the group, Australia’s Sam Kerr scored a superb hat-trick for Chelsea as they easily overcame Paris FC 4-1.<\/p>\n

Kerr’s third effort was a sublime lob, capping off a fine display from the Blues’ captain before Wales defender Sophie Ingle scored her side’s fourth goal in injury time.<\/p>\n

The game was played at Chelsea men’s home ground of Stamford Bridge in front of just 5,000 people and 35,000 empty seats.<\/p>\n

It was moved from the women’s side’s Kingsmeadow home as it fails to meet UEFA standards.<\/p>\n

Roma lead Group C after beating Ajax 3-0 in Italy thanks to Valentina Giacinti’s double inside the opening quarter of an hour.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Manuela Giugliano made sure of three points just after the break for the Italians.<\/p>\n

In the other game in the pool, Sweden defender Magdalena Eriksson scored as German champions Bayern Munich edged Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the French capital.<\/p>\n

Home fans carried out a pre-match protest against the early kick-off in the French capital, unfurling a banner reading “Prestigious game, amateur timing, welcome to UEFA.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Salma Paralluelo netted twice as holders Barcelona beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 to remain top of Group A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
