Glasgow City’s hopes of reaching the Women’s Champions League were ended as Austria Wien recorded a 2-0 second qualifying round victory.

There was little between the two sides in the first half as Glasgow competed well at the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna.

Katharina Schiechtl fired the Austrians ahead four minutes after the interval with a direct free-kick.

Glasgow stayed in the game and Sofia Maatta went close to an equaliser 12 minutes from time.

The tie was put beyond Glasgow in the third minute of stoppage time after Almedina Sisic set up fellow substitute Maria Olsen.

Emily Whelan almost claimed a consolation for the Scottish visitors when her effort bounced off the woodwork with almost the last kick of the match.
