It proved to be a memorable night in Stockholm as Gareth Taylor’s side secured passage into the quarter-finals of the prestigious competition with two Group D matches left to play.
Played in front of 21,000 supporters – the visitors weathered Martin Sjogren side’s early storm as the hosts were backed by their vocal fans.
After defending well, we then broke the deadlock through Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw who collected the ball just inside Hammarby’s box, shifted it onto her right foot and found the top corner via a deflection.
That represented the first half’s only goal, but the fixture was far from over at the interval as the hosts equalised soon after the restart when Ellen Wangerheim tapped home from close range.
Undeterred, however, we restored our advantage soon after when Jess Park teed up Bunny who unleashed a venomous effort into the roof of the net from range.
Although that proved to be the winner, three points wouldn’t have been sealed had it not been for the brilliance of Khiara Keating who made a string of impressive saves to keep the hosts at bay.
