Eight-time champions Lyon also booked their semi-final place with victory over Benfica.

CHELSEA REACHED THE Champions League semi-finals for the fifth time in their history after a 1-1 draw with Ajax at Stamford Bridge secured a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory.

Chelsea will face the winners of the last-eight clash between holders Barcelona and Norwegian side Brann, who play their quarter-final second leg tomorrow night. Advertisement Leuchter threatened again, forcing Zecira Musovic into a low save after the restart, one of the only chances for either side until Tiny Hoekstra played through Grant, who drew the sides level when she fooled Musovic with a low finish in the 65th minute.

Marie-Yasmine Alidou equalised minutes after Cascarino’s opener at the end of the first half, but the 27-year-old hit a second shortly after half-time before two injury-time Diani goals gave Lyon a comfortable victory. But Benfica struck back instantly to reduce the deficit to one goal when Alidou bundled home Lucia Alves’ cross, following a sublime defence-splitting pass from deep by Kika Nazareth.
