Chelsea V Liverpool: Fa Cup semifinal for women-long | Fa cup for women
Key events
39 min: Liverpool stops again while Smith plays the ball for FISK on the right. The full -back is given a lot of space with Baltimora out of position and sends a cross in the middle, but nothing comes.
37 min: FISK receives the first booking of the game for pulling the Beever-Jones shirt.
35 min: Chelsea is looking for a draw while the ball is crossed towards Beever-Jones, but there is too much on it and the wing is unable to obtain a touch.
32 min: It was all Chelsea in the early stages, but Liverpool saw an opportunity and took it – and consequently the hosts have appeared a little since then.
29 min: The tide is turning here in Kingsmeadow – and favor of Liverpool. The ball passed to Smith on the right and Fisk makes an overlapping race without blue shirts that mark it. He receives possession and puts his passage through the door to Höbinger, who forces a strong rescue from Hampon with his shot.
27 min: Liverpool has a corner. It is emptied in the box with a lot of power and Fisk goes for the shot on the fly, but his effort flies wide.
25 min: Chelsea has played such a high line in search of a goal so far that a lot of space has been left behind. Liverpool will now try to exploit it as much as possible.
22 min: What answer from visitors after absorbing so much pressure for so long! Höbinger receives the ball in midfield, turns and divides Baltimore and Bright with a phenomenal passage through Smith, who makes a race from the right. The attack attacks at the end of the passage before inserting his shot in the corner at the bottom!
OBJECTIVE! Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool (Olivia Smith, 21)
Smith breaks the Deadlock! It is a possibility, a goal for Liverpool!

4 min: Bright plays a top switch passes to Kaptein on the right, which puts the ball on Kaneryd just inside. The wing tries to play it forward but puts a little too much power on the passage and is collected by the laws.

Chelsea puts us in progress in Kingsmeadow!

The teams are out! The kick -off is a few moments!
England has experienced a mixed international break this month. The lionesses started in flight, beating Belgium 5-0 at the Ashton Gate. However, a disappointing defensive display and somehow disorganized has seen them lose 3-2 in the reverse equipment. The absence of Alessia Russo and Lauren James could certainly be heard in free time, although Michelle Aicyemang had a fantastic impact when she entered her debut.
Here’s what we learned from the two games …
Interim coach of Liverpool Amber Whiteley He insists that his team will approach today’s match with confidence after the victory of the quarter -finals over Arsenal. He said: “We took really good confidence from that quarter -finals against Arsenal and also in the championship against Manchester United,” said Whiteley. “We have shown that we can compete against the best teams. If we perform our game plan, we can cause Chelsea problems during the day.”
He added: “Sonia (Bompastor) has done a brilliant job since he went to Chelsea. They were already a successful side, but he brought them back to another level. We have to look at the teams that took points in recent games and take learning from those games. Definitely gives you the trust and belief that we can go there and do the same.”

Preamble
Hello and welcome to the coverage of the women’s semifinal clash of the England Cup between Chelsea and Liverpool.
For Chelsea, this is a rather familiar territory. The blues have reached the seven FA Cup finals in their history. They also managed 21 wins in the last 22 cup games: their only defeat arriving against Manchester United in the semifinals of last season.
Liverpool, on the other hand, has been trying to reach the final for the first time since 1996 – when they have eliminated Arsenal in the semifinal on penalty after a draw without goals. Amber Whiteley’s team has stunned the Gunners to Meadow Park to earn a place in the last four of this season, winning 1-0 following a goal by Daphne Van Domsalaar.
A place is at stake in the final of next month in Wembley. You don’t want to miss this!
