Elisabeth Terland scores her fourth goal of the week in Sweden, to give United Women the lead v Hammarby…
FIRST HALF – NO BREAKTHROUGHIt was Hammarby who carved open the first chance of the game after nine minutes, when Cathinka Tandberg’s effort sailed just over the bar.
Tandberg then turned provider to set up Ellen Wangerheim, as the 20-year-old forward forced a save from Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
Ella Toone’s cheeky corner almost caught out Melina Loeck as we began to up the ante, before Sandberg drove forward and released a shot that was just a tad too high.
The best chance of the first half came for Hammarby as we reached the half-hour mark. Astayo Miyagawa headed into the ground and Sofia Reidy thundered an effort that slammed off the bar.
Former Manchester City striker Julie Blakstad couldn’t find a way past Maya Le Tissier as she saw her shot blocked soon after.
Toone then teed up Zigiotti Olme for a tame effort that was saved by Loeck, before the whistle blew to bring the first-half action to a close.

SECOND HALFMarc Skinner’s side started the second period in fine fashion, with two quickfire chances.
Celin Bizet Donnum was denied by Hammarby’s ever-present goalkeeper, and Melvine Malard was unable to properly connect with her follow-up.
But that was all soon forgotten minutes later, when Terland scored her fourth goal of the week in Sweden, following her impressive hat-trick against PSV Eindhoven.
Celin’s cross found Malard at the back post, and the French forward pulled the ball back to Teri, who drove her shot past Loeck to open the scoring.
Melvine Malard was a constant threat for United.
Hammarby huffed and puffed in an attempt to get back into the game after the opener, but failed to create any clear-cut opportunities.
Instead it was the Reds who continued to build, as Malard chested down expertly to find Toone. Our no.7 took her strike first time but once again, Hammarby’s no.28 in goal stood between us.
That was the final action of the contest, and Skinner’s side now await our next opponents with bated breath.
We could face Atletico Madrid, Austria Vienna, Brann, Eintracht Frankfurt, Hacken, Paris FC, Real Madrid, Roma or Sporting Club, so stay tuned to our platforms to see who it is in round three.
