Manchester City moved into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League with a 2-1 aggregate win over Brondby.
Women's Super League champions City held onto their first-leg advantage thanks to a 1-1 draw in Denmark on Wednesday, with both goals coming inside a minute during a tense second half.
Brondby had an early chance but Louise Kristiansen dragged her effort wide, and City proved dangerous when they ventured forward with Toni Duggan being denied by a Katrine Abel save.
Nikita Parris wasted a decent opening when she fired over the bar towards the end of a goalless opening 45 minutes.
Jill Scott went even closer just after the break but her header was cleared off the line and Parris then saw a shot come back off the crossbar as City's pressure continued.
That pressure would pay off in the 65th minute when leading scorer Jane Ross played provider, holding off a Brondby defender before playing in Duggan, who spun and smashed home a volley.
Their lead would last only a matter of seconds with a mistake at the back giving Christiansen the chance to get on to Julie Tavlo-Petersson's cross and score at the second attempt.
But, even though Nicoline Sorensen went close with a header for the home side, City would hold on to their lead and secure a place in the last eight, with the draw scheduled to take place on November 25.
