"Le Tissier tucked home from 12 yards in the 31st minute after a handball by Arna Eiriksdottir, with that moment proving enough to get the Red Devils over the line. It was a game that Marc Skinner's side looked in control of throughout, though they were unable to add to their goal tally to make the scoreline slightly more comfortable."
"Elisabeth Terland glanced a header narrowly wide inside the first minute before Hinata Miyazawa and Melvine Malard forced saves out of visiting goalkeeper Tove Enblom. Jessica Park then came close to doubling United's lead just 25 seconds after the restart, but the midfielder saw her shot brilliantly saved by Enblom at her near post. From there, United only managed one further shot on target courtesy of Julia Zigiotti Olme, but Phallon Tullis-Joyce remained untroubled as the hosts saw out the triumph."
