It was a disappointing night in Sweden as we fell to a defeat against BK Hacken in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifiers.
A spot in the group stage is still all to play for with a one-goal deficit to overturn in next week’s home leg at Meadow Park.
What happened
Jonas Eidevall made three changes to the side that beat Rosenborg in the previous round of qualifying, with Lotte Wubben-Moy, Beth Mead and Rosa Kafaji stepping into the starting XI. This marked Kafaji’s first competitive start and against her former club, no less.
A frantic opening to the match saw both sides battle for control, with Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey combining well for some early chances.
