UEFA Women's Cup: Scoreless Umeå lose final

Arsenal LFC - Umeå IK 0 - 0 (0-0)
Umeå: Carola Söberg - Anna Paulson, Karolina Westberg, Johanna Frisk, Maria Bergkvist - Lisa Dahlqvist (55 Madeleine Edlund), Elaine, Lise Klaveness, Ma Xiaoxu (71 Ramona Bachman) - Marta, Hanna Ljungberg
Attendance: 3,467
An enjoyable afternoon. Decent weather, friendly crowd with a sort of full-house feeling to it. Appearently it is supposed to be possible to force almost another 1,000 spectators in to the stands, but I really wouldn't have wanted to be there in that case. The queue to the hamburger stand was already long enough and it was still possible to move around a bit. There was a substantial Swedish precense at the match. According to Umeå, they had sold close to 100 tickets to fans and from the looks (and sound) of it, there were several hundred more that made the trip to Borehamwood on their own. For someone like me, that really didn't have that much invested in the match, it was also an enjoyable match, even if it wasn't top quality until Umeå finally found their game the last 15-20 minutes. Hard-working Arsenal defense, from the midfielders down to a sometimes excellent and sometimes just plain lucky Byrne in goal, and a referee that at a few occasions looked a bit more lenient than was called for decided the match in Arsenal's favour.
Match reports in English can be found at e.g. UEFA, Arsenal and The FA. But I suppose you've figured that out already. My ambition was to post reports from London, but that city has so much more to offer than Internet cafes.
Post-game reports in Sweden went along the lines of "We were better, but it is the goals that count" to "We were robbed by the ref!". Two first half handballs and Anita Asante's blatant holdning of Hanna Ljungberg in the second all went unnoticed. Apart from that, most of the post-match press was about Umeå's 16 years old Swiss talent Ramona Bachman, who did great the 20 minutes she played. In Damallsvenskan, she is usually left outside the match squad, since only 3 non-EU players are allowed and those spots has been reserved for Marta, Elaine and Ma.
Aftonbladet: Umeå bortdömda mot Arsenal
Expressen: Mållöst - en seger för Arsenal
Dagens Nyheter: Arsenal stod emot Umeå
Västerbottenskuriren: Bara millimeter från dundersuccé
Aftonbladet: Ljungberg: Hon är född stjärna
Västerbottens Folkblad: Bachmann nära stjäla showen
Västerbottens Folkblad: Jeglertz sågade domaren
Video clips: Svt has a pregame story from "the backyard of football", but it seems like they didn't get internet publishing rights for the match. But thank's to some kind soul, you can watch the entire segment about the match from the evening sport news at youtube.
