The Blues enjoyed the bulk of possession, but struggled to make the most of their dominance as they recorded 29 shots without scoring.
They did find the net twice, but first-half efforts from Wieke Kaptein and Melvine Malard were disallowed and Hacken goalkeeper Jennifer Falk made some solid stops throughout the contest.
A point keeps Chelsea unbeaten in the competition with two draws and two wins from four outings and Bompastor urged her side to “refocus” ahead of their Women’s Super League clash against Manchester City on Saturday.
Reflecting on the game, Bompastor said in quotes reported on the Chelsea website: “Tonight’s performance was good in terms of the defensive aspects.
“We knew what they wanted to do against us: they wanted to use the transition to hurt us behind the back line, and the back line dealt really well with those situations.
“We were dominant with the ball for most of the game. We created a lot of opportunities, but we couldn’t score the one goal to win the game. It’s a frustrating result. We came here with the ambition to win.
“We also hit the crossbar, and the goalkeeper made some great saves. Sometimes it happens in football, and you need to take the learnings and move on. We have enough quality in the squad to achieve that, but it didn’t go our way.
“We have a quick turnaround with a big game at the weekend, so we need to refocus and move on from this one.”
