  "account": "Manchester City were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid in a UEFA Women’s Champions League match last night at The Joie Stadium. The Cityzens were unable to secure three points, despite several chances to take the lead.\n\nReal Madrid took the early initiative when Felicia Schröder lost the ball to Carlotta Wamser, whose shot went wide. Athenea del Castillo met a corner on the volley but hit the ball wide. Khadija Shaw fired over for Manchester City before Mary Fowler's header struck the underside of the crossbar.\n\nReal Madrid created another potent attack with Eva Navarro sending a cross from the right, but it fell just behind Schröder, who was in an offside position. Ayaka Yamashita, the home goalkeeper, made a crucial save when Arianna Caruso's shot was deflected towards her.\n\nShaw then saw a shot blocked before the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Despite a late effort by Lauren Hemp, who made a great run and passed to Yui Hasegawa, the latter volleyed the ball just wide. Shaw managed to level the score for Manchester City with a well-taken goal in the 51st minute, with Beth Mead's header narrowly missed the target.",
