Olha Ovdiychuk's first-time long-range lob for WFC Kharkiv at Breidablik has been named UEFA Women's Champions League Goal of the Group Stage after topping the poll, presented by Heineken
The goal helped seal a 2-0 win for Kharkiv and finished ahead of the runner-up, Lieke Martens's outrageous Matchday 6 effort in Barcelona's victory against HB Køge. Another strike for the holders, by Fridolina Rolfö in the 4-0 triumph at Arsenal, came third.

Fans were able to vote for Goal of the Group Stage from 10:00 CET on Monday 20 December until 15:00 CET on Thursday 23 December.
