Big chance for Fioentina as Thogersen bursts forward towards the Man City goal, but the forward fired just wide.
SECOND HALF
HALF TIME
Yellow Card
A free kick from Fiorentina comes to nothing. While the ball was dropped into the box, Lucy Bronze had it covered, while the ball bobbed out of play.
In last season's Champions League, Fiorentina were knocked out by Arsenal in the last 32. Man City made it to the last sixteen, where Atletico Madrid beat them 3-2 over two legs.
Man City, on the other hand, are cruising. The Sky Blues have not dropped points in the FA Women's Super League, and they are second in the FA Women's Super League, two points behind leaders Chelsea.
Fiorentina will be hoping to put a difficult league campaign behind them this afternoon. The club are currently seventh in Serie A, and 19 points behind league leaders Juventus.
Man City are very comfortable this afternoon. The Cityzens are dominating possession, which is forcing Fiorentina back behind the ball. At the heart of the Italian's defense, is Republic of Ireland internaitonal Louise Quinn.
