Manchester City look sure to progress from the previous 32 of this Women’s Champions League as they scored five goals in the last 25 minutes to thrash Lugano 7-1 at the leg.
Kaela Dickerman levelled just before half time, although georgia Stanway gave a 25th-minute lead to the British side.
Aoife Mannion’s penalty minutes after the restart place City in command.
It was sealed by two Pauline Bremer goals, one from Janine Beckie at the final phases and two in Caroline Weir.
City ought to have been out of sight until last season’s Korean league runners-up equalised.
The post hit from close range and shot wide while Weir hit a long-time work against the crossbar.
However, a dogged Lugano side, using a strong American contingent, caught City about the break when Sofia Pedrazzini’s shot was deflected over following a poor clearance by goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck and they could have gone ahead.
However, City were back in seconds after the restart when Mannion goalkeeper Kelsey Dossey with her spot-kick after Lee Geum-min was hit at the box.
Bremer’s lovely lob following Steph Houghton pass finished the game before slotting home the fourth and Alana O’Neill forward turned inside out.
The fifth from Weir has been a calm strike after very excellent control 12 yards out, and she struck the post a second later.
Beckie’s low effort from the edge of the box beat on five minutes before Scotland Weir obtained her moment with the final kick of the match and Dossey together.
The only real downside for City was a concern over England forwards Stanway who siphoned away while still scoring the goal having been hurt.
