PARIS, March 27 -- Chelsea reached the UEFA Women's Champions League semifinals by overcoming Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 on aggregate despite a 2-1 road loss in the quarterfinals return leg here on Wednesday.

After suffering a 2-0 loss to the English side one week ago, PSG managed to level the aggregate score through Kadidiatou Diani's poking shot and Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger's own goal in the second half, but their defensive error gifted Maren Mjelde's decisive goal at the stroke of stoppage time.

Despite advantage in ball possession, PSG failed to open the scoring in the first 45 minutes at the Stade Jean Bouin.

They managed to halve deficit just one minute after the restart, as Diani was on position to put Ashley Lawrence's left-wing cross into the net.

The hosts footballers felt much motivated by boisterous atmosphere inside the stadium created by the Parisiens. Chinese star Wang Shuang saw her corner kick fumbled by Berger into own net to make it 2-2 on aggregate in the 56th minute.

Two minutes later, Wang released Marie-Antoinette Katoto on the left, but Berger made no errors this time to block the Frenchwoman's shot. Wang also got the chance herself, only to fire a shot wide in the 67th minute.

Mjelde, not long back from injury, swept skipper Karen Carney's pass from the left flank to seal the vistors' win.

"The first half we defended really well, but at the same time, they created a lot of chances. We had to do something unless we would concede, but we did that so early, just the first minute of the second half," said Mjelde.
