This week, we look at the second qualification round of the 2023-24 Women's Champions League, with one huge shock as Paris FC sent last year's finalists Wolfsburg crashing out of the competition. See our reviews of the first qualification round matches: (see: The Week in Women's Football: Are you ready for this? Mega-bucks Saudi Pro League planned for 2025 - Tribal Football and The Week in Women's Football: Champions League qualifying - Arsenal, Juventus bounced out - Tribal Football). We also present the four groups following the draw for the 16 team group stage.

League path

Eintracht Frankfurt of Germany vs. Sparta Praha of the Czech Republic (5-0, 3-0; 8-0 on aggregate)

Who would have thought that only one German club among last season's WCL finalists and past two-time winners Wolfsburg and four time former champions and improving side Eintracht Frankfurt would make the 2023-24 WCL group stage of 16 teams and it won't be Wolfsburg, who fell in a huge upset to Paris FC as Eintracht Frankfurt had a much easier road against Sparta Prague of the Czech Republic. (Bayern Munich received a bye this year directly into the group stage, joining Frankfurt).

Eintracht Frankfurt won the first leg at home on October 10 as German international striker Laura Freigang (25) scored a hat trick. Freigang is her sixth season with the Frankfurt side and has never scored fewer than 10 goals in a season with the club, with a high of 17 in 2020-21—she has two league goals so far this season from four games. In the return leg in Prague on October 18, Austrian international forward Barbara Dunst (26) scored all the goals in the first half for a 3-0 win as the German side moved onto the group stage with an 8-0 aggregate victory. Dunst is in her fifth season with Frankfurt and won a league title at home in 2015-16 with St. Polten. Frankfurt surprisingly knocked out Italian power Juventus of Turin in the first qualifying round while Sparta had a bye into the second qualifying round. The club, under their previous name of 1. FFC Frankfurt, won four previous European club titles.

For Sparta Prague, two of their goalkeepers come from CONCACAF: American-born and raised Sydney Schneider (24) of Jamaica (who has been on their last two WWC Finals sides) and Danielle Kyzyzaniak (27) of Canada, who played at Bethel College in Tennessee and was a graduate assistant coach at Jacksonville State University. Schnieder started both games against Frankfurt.

Sparta's other four imports came from either Canada or the U.S.:

• Defender Tristan Corneil (29) of Canada, who two league titles in Lithuania with Gintra and a Ukrainian league title with Zhytlobud-2 and has also played in Sweden.
• Defender Morgot Ridgeway (23) of the U.S., who played collegiately at University of California-Davis, North Carolina State and the University of Michigan.
• Midfielder Lauren Chang (24) of the U.S., who played at the University of South Carolina and has a Masters' degree in Business from the school.

• Forward Kiyani Johnson (25) of Canada, who played at York University in Toronto.

Paris FC of France vs. Wolfsburg of Germany (3-3, 2-0; 5-3 on aggregate)

In the upset of the round and arguably of the tournament thus far this season, on October 10 Wolfsburg fought back from a 3-2 halftime deficit through a 77nd minute goal by German international forward Alexandra Popp—her second of the game—as the two teams scored 5 goals in the first half. On October 18, Paris FC shocked the 2022-23 runners up with a 2-0 away win in Germany, with goals by Julie Dufour (22—who joined the club this season after three seasons at Bordeaux) and Louise Fleury (26—in her second season with Paris FC after nine seasons at Guingamp), who both were capped by France at multiple youth levels.

Wolfsburg had a bye to the second round, so their exit after only two WCL games in 2023/24 is all the more stunning, so it is Paris FC moving on to the Group Stage—under their previous name of Juvisy they made the semifinals of the competition in 2012-13 before being smashed 9-1 on aggregate by fellow French side Olympique Lyon. Paris FC have recently become a challenger in France and in Europe to the traditional powerhouses of Paris St. Germain and Olympique Lyonnaise. That message has been received loud and clear and is good for the game in France. Their first qualifying round defeat of Arsenal of England was another upset but their win over Wolfsburg should send a message to the rest of Europe that this side could make the quarterfinals after the group stage like Roma did last season, or even beyond.

Wolfsburg's roster included three players from the Netherlands:

• Defender Lynn Wilms (23), who joined the club from Twente for the 2021-22 season, was on the Dutch WWC Finals side this summer.
• Defender Dominique Janssen (28), who is another 2023 WWC Finals squad member, is in her fifth season with Wolfsburg after five seasons with Arsenal of the WSL.
• Forward Fenna Kalma (23) moved from Twente of the Netherlands in the off-season. She was not a 2023 WWC Finalist team member but this move should help her national team standing in the future, after navigating this European speedbump (or crater, depending on your viewpoint).

Other imports included one each coming from Iceland, Italy, Poland Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland.

Manchester United of England vs. Paris Saint-Germain of France (1-1, 1-3; 2-4 on aggregate)

On October 10, in their European WCL debut, Man United drew at home, coming back to tie the game with a 70 minute goal by Melvine Malard (23) of France, who joined this season from Olympique Lyon. Malawian international Tabith Chawinga (27)—who is on loan from Wuhan Jianghan University in China and last season scored 23 goals in 23 matches for Inter Milan, again on loan, and earlier in her career was a scoring sensation in Sweden—opened the scoring in the 55th minute.

In the second leg on October 18, Lieke Martens of the Netherlands scored in the first half and again, three minutes into the second frame to give PSG the lead on aggregate 3-2 after Lisa Naalsund of Norway tied the match and aggregate score in the 47th minute with a goal. French international Sandy Baltimore, who has been at the club since the 2016-17 season and is only 23 years-of-age, extended the lead in the 57th minute for PSG. Both teams advanced directly to the second qualification round.

Manchester United's imports included:

• GK Safia Middleton-Patel (19) of Wales—she has been with Man United in their academy since she was 15 and signed her first professional contract in January. She has played for Wales U-17 and U-19 national teams and is in the full national

• GK Phallon Tullis-Joyce (26) of the U.S.—we will discuss her recent transfer from OL Reign in Seattle, which their former Arsenal coach Laura Harvey was not happy with, in the next few weeks in our review of the NWSL season; Tullis-Joyce did not play in either game as England's 2023 WWC second place squad's anchor Mary Earps started both matches.
• D Hayley Ladd (30) of Wales—she had over 80 full international caps for Wales and is in her fifth season with United; she spent a year on loan in Finland from Arsenal as a teenager.
• M Irene Guerreo (26) of Spain—she won the Women's World Cup this summer with Spain.
• M Lisa Naalsund (28) of Norway—in January she signed a three and one-half year contract with United, leaving Brann at home; she is a full international and played with various youth national teams.
• M Hinata Miyazawa (23) of Japan—she impressed at the 2023 Women's World Cup for Japan and transferred from Mynavi Sendai Ladies of Japan in the off-season.
• F Melvine Malard (23) of France—she has scored three goals for Manchester United (two in the WCL) since joining on loan from Olympique Lyon in mid-September.
• F Jayde Riviere (22) of Canada is in her second season with Man United and won an Olympic Gold medal in Japan at the last Games in 2021.
• F Gemma Evans (27) of Wales—she is approaching a half century of caps and joined United this summer after two seasons with Reading of the WSL.

• F Geyse (25) of Brazil—she won the Women's Champions League title last season with Barcelona.

Häcken of Sweden vs. Twente of Netherlands (2-2, 2-1; 4-3 on aggregate)

Hacken of Gothenburg in western Sweden gave the Damallsvenskan a second team in the Group stage, along with Malmo's Rosengard (see below), by winning 4-3 on aggregate but they struggled to defeat the surprisingly always under-appreciated Twente of the Netherlands—even though they have made the Round of 16 in three of their eight appearances since the 2011-12 season, while winning the league title twice during that time period.

American Taylor Ziemer, who played at Virginia and Texas A&M, scored for Twente in its 2-2 tie at Sweden's Hacken in the first leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League playoff series, along with former Dutch international defender Leonie Vliek (22), who joined the club this season after five seasons with PEC Zwolle. For Hacken, Swedish U-17 international Sara Schroder (16) scored the first goal with an assist by Finnish international midfielder Saara Kosola (22), who scored the second just after the break, and left Orebro for Hacken during the summer Damallsvenskan break.

Hacken fought back in the second leg, going down to a Vliek goal in the 33rd minute, with Anna Anvegard (26)—who has ten goals in 23 games this season in her second season with Hacken, after spending the 2021-22 season in the WSL with Everton and won an Olympic Silver Medal in Japan in 2021—and Schroder again scoring within four minutes of each other around the hour mark. Hacken had a bye into the second qualifying round.

Twente used an entirely Dutch roster except for two from Germany: forward Anna-Lena Stolze (23) is in her fourth season at Twente after years at Wolfsburg and Goalkeeper Leonie Doege (24), who moved this season from the Frauen-Bundesliga 2 side Borussia Bocholt. They missed their Dutch international Fenna Kalma WWC, who moved to Wolfsburg in the off-season, who also lost at this stage in the second qualification round (see above).

Real Madrid of Spain vs. Vålerenga of Norway (2-1, 3-0; 5-1 on aggregate)

On October 11, Real Madrid defeated Valerenga of Norway 2-1 at home in Madrid, with Claudia Zornoza (33) and Rocio Galvez (26)—who both won the World Cup with Spain this past summer—scoring the goals in the first half to offset Swedish native's Felicia Rogic's (30) goal for the Norwegians in the 27th minute. Rogic has three goals in 20 games this season for Valerenga, her first abroad after many years at home with Eskilstuna United. On October 18 in Oslo, France's 2023 WWC Finals Sandie Toletti (28) scored in the first half and in the second half forward Naomi Feller (21), another 2023 WWC Finals player from France, and Athena DelCastillo (22), another World Cup winner with Spain this summer, scored, the latter with a goal deep into injury time. Real had a bye into the second round of qualifiers.

For Valerenga, they had eight players from other countries, including three North Americans:

• GK Jalen Tompkins (26) of the U.S. is in her fourth season at Valerenga and played at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
• D Michaela Kovacs (26), another American, joined the Norwegian side this summer form KIF Orebro, who she joined in 2022; she played collegiately at Michigan State University in Lansing.
• M Elizabeth Pechersky (25) is a Canadian who played in the 2022-23 season with PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands after a season with Swedish Damallsvenskan side KIF Orebro and a year in the second tier Swedish Elitettan with Lidkoping. She is from Toronto and played at the University of Memphis.

Two players each came from Denmark and Sweden and one from Iceland: defender Ingibjorg Sigurdardottir (25), who has a career high six goals this season in her fourth season with Valerenga after many years at home with Breidablik.

Champions Path

Valur of Iceland vs. St. Pölten of Austria (0-4, 1-0; 1-4 on aggregate)

On October 10, St Polten defeated Valur decisively by a 4-0 scoreline in Reykjavik, with Austrian U-17 and U-19 international Valentina Madl (17) scoring a second half brace within 4 minutes around the hour mark. In the return on October 18, Lise Dissing of Denmark scored the only goal of the game in the 75th minute for Valur. St. Polten has now made the group stage for the second consecutive season.

Valur's squad was all-Icelandic except for two imports from Denmark:

• Defender Laura Frank (25)—she has been capped at the junior and senior level (two caps in 2018) and joined Valur from Fortuna Hjorring at home.
• Forward Lise Dissing (21)—the Danish youth international joined Valur after spending the last two seasons with ThyThistedQ; in the league she has one goal in six games thus far this season.

Roma of Italy vs. Vorskla of Ukraine (3-0, 6-1; 9-1 on aggregate)

On October 11, Roma won the first leg in Rome over Vorskla of Ukraine with a 3-0 win, with Canadian international Evelyn Viens, who played in Australia with the WNT this summer and scored 32 goals in two seasons with Kristianstads, scoring the winner by the 15th minute. Roma won the second leg, again in Rome, 6-1 with Viens scoring again and Italian international defender Lucia Di Guglielmo (26), who was on Italy's World Cup squad this summer and is in her third season with Roma, scoring twice while Yana Kotyk (20) of Vorskla put the ball through her own net twice in the last seven minutes of the match.

Roma did not have to play in the first qualifying rounds, based off their run to the WCL quarterfinals last year, on their way to their first Serie A title victory. Nikole Kozlova (23), who started both matches, is Canadian-born and joined the team after two seasons with Koge in Denmark, where she won two league titles. TribalFootball.com interviewed Kozlova two years ago when she was playing for Ukraine in the UEFA Women's EURO Qualifiers and at Virginia Tech University (see: The Week in Women's Football: Interview with Ukraine star Kozlova; Damallsvenskan shock; Spirit visit Qatar - Tribal Football). She also is working in the sports data field as a data scientist. Note: TribalFootball.com will exclusively talk with Kozlova over the next few weeks to talk about her move from Denmark to Ukraine and her national team's UEFA Nations League games this fall.

Vorskla-Kharkiv-2 (UKR) used an all-Ukrainian side except for two imports:

• Midfielder Olga Osipyan (27) of Armenia, who is a full international and was with the side last season.
• Midfielder Kamila Kulmagambetova (28) of Kazakhstan joined Vorskla in June of 2022 and won four league titles at home with BIIK Kazygurt.

Apollon of Cyprus vs. Benfica of Portugal (0-7, 0-4; 11-0 on aggregate)

In the first round, Benfica of Lisbon easily dispatched Apollon in the first leg on October 11, with Portuguese international Jessica Silva (see: The Week in Women's Football: World Cup Groups E & F preview; pressure on Marta - Tribal Football) scoring two goals in second half injury time for the final 7-0 scoreline. Canadian international Marie Alidou—who played collegiately at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal and has played in France, Sweden, Spain, Norway, and Austria and won a first cap for Canada in 2022 against Spain in a tournament in England—also scored a brace. In the second leg, Alidou and 2023 WWC Finalists with Portugal's Kiki Nazareth scored along with Portuguese U-19 international Leticia Almeida (18) and Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe, who has won three league titles with Benfica and was on her nation's WWC Finals side this summer, with all of the goals coming in the second half.

Apollon always is a rich importer of talent, including a number of Americans and have brought back their noteworthy import from India of last season, their international forward Manisha Kaylan for a second season, who helped Apollon win the league, the Cup and Women's Cup with Apollon last season (see: The Week in Women's Football: Annual review of UEFA Champions League qualifying group stage - Tribal Football); Kaylan last season became the first player from India to appear in a UEFA Women's Champions League match.

Slavia put six more goals without reply past the Romanian side on October 18 in Cluj as Nekesa scored the winner in the 10th minute and Americans Molly McLaughlin (23) and Haleigh Stackpool (23) added goals in the second half.

Olimpia Cluj of Romania has participated in every WCL since 2011-12 and made the round of 32 in four of their previous campaigns, including the round of 16 in 2012-13. Cluj had five imports on their roster, with three being Americans on their side:

On October 11, Brann travelled to Glasgow and Norwegian Rakel Engesvik (25), in her second season with the side, scored a double to help Brann to a 3-0 halftime lead.
