UEFA Women's CUP: Hanna hat-tricks as Umeå runs over Saestum
SV Saestum - Umeå IK 1 - 6 (0-2)
Umeå: Sofia Lundgren - Anna Paulsson, Karolina Westberg, Sanna Valkonen, Johanna Frisk - Anne Mäkinen, Malin Moström, Lise Klaveness (50 Lisa Dahlqvist) - Anna Sjöström, Hanna Ljungberg (70 Johanna Andersson), Marta (70 Erika Karlsson)
Goals: 0-1 Hanna Ljungberg (8), 0-2 Marta (43) 0-3 Hanna Ljungberg (63), 0-4 Marta (64), 0-5 Hanna Ljungberg (66), 0-6 Anna Sjöström (70), 1-6 Shirley Smith (84)
Umeå has effectively secured advancement to the UEFA Women's Cup semifinals by defeating Dutch champions Saestum 1-6 on the road. "It looks pretty good at least", comments Hanna Ljungberg. But a 6 goal defeat at home isn't just unlikely, it's as close to impossible as anything can get in this game.
Saestum had a sharp attack and were good with the ball and Umeå had to work hard for their goals in the first half. But as the game went along the Dutch players grew more and more tired and Umeå's superior strength and stamina made the difference. After the formidable goal explosion between the 63rd and 66th minute, taking Umeå from a 2 goal to a 5 goal lead, Saestum more or less gave up. Marta's 4-0 goal was a great solo performance, taking the ball at midfield, getting past 3 defenders and finishing by dribbling the Saestum keeper before putting the ball in goal.
In other UEFA Women's Cup QF's today Arsenal defeated Breidablik on Iceland with a clear 5-0 and like Umeå more or less securing their semifinal appearence. The two Wednesday matches were closer. Norwegian Kolbotn got the upper hand in their encounter with reigning UEFA champions, German FFC Frankfurt, with a 2-1 win and Danish Brøndby defeated German champions Turbine Potsdam 3-0. A bit surprising that both German teams lost, but last year both Turbine and Frankfurt managed to come back from defeats in their first semifinal matches and advance to the final. I doubt Turbine will repeat it this year, but Frankfurt managed to get that important away goal and has a good chance to repair their loss at home next week.
