Bunny Shaw’s stunning second-half finish earned us a point at the Joie Stadium after we had fallen behind before the break.
Real Madrid forward Linda Caicedo had put the Spanish side in the lead with a fine strike of her own.
But after the break, City had all the early running and deservedly drew level when Shaw angled the ball inside the far post from the edge of the box.
It was an end-to-end encounter from there on, with both sides having the chances to take all three points.
Indeed, Mary Fowler saw an early header cannon off the underside of the crossbar, while the visitors saw a late winner ruled out.
The stalemate means City take two draws from our first two games in this year’s League Phase.
