The goal of Rosa Kafaji After the hour mark, Swedish Häcken qualified for the quarterfinals, after finishing in second place in Group D, and left the team Alberto Toril with only one point in six games and with a very poor image in Europa.
He Alfredo Di Stefano He closed his presence in Europe this season against Häcken. He Real Madrid He rotated his starting eleven with respect to the one presented last weekend against Athletic Club to go for his first victory in the group stage of the Champions League. With the same long-term lossesToletti and Olga They returned to the starting lineup after their injury, while Maria Valle, whose signing was confirmed during the afternoon, followed her new teammates’ game from the stands of the white stadium.
Face the team trained by Mark Lind, was in the middle of fighting for second place in group D that would give it access to the quarterfinals of the European competition. The visitors depended on themselves to have one more point than the Paris FC in the classification and went out for victory at the white team’s home. Not a minute had passed since the initial whistle and Larisey I had already had the first one for the Swedes. Today’s starting forward was in a one-on-one matchup with Chavas where the French goalkeeper had to intervene to send the ball to a corner kick.
The initial scare would be the first that Real Madrid would experience during the first 45 minutes. The most dangerous occasions would have as protagonists the Häcken players who took advantage of the speed of Anvergård and Jusu Bah to exploit the spaces that the locals left behind with long balls. Both would have the clearest chance to break the tie on the scoreboard, starring in four of the five shots on goal that the Swedes had.
Alberto Toril’s men resisted the approaches, but they barely posed a real threat to Falk who only had to intervene against two distant shots by Olga and Kenti Robles and watching how Møller, alone in the big area, shot too cross and Hayley Raso crashed into the side of the net after beating Wijk in a run after half an hour of play. With the score 0-0, both teams went to the locker room.
Real Madrid started the second half more purposefully with their attackers more active and getting closer to the front of the area. White tried with centers and additions on the left wing of Olga and Athenea break the visiting defensive line, but the height of the centrals left the approaches of the locals in vain.
Without being able to specify the approaches in something clear, Häcken exploited the counterattack to make Real Madrid’s weaknesses visible. The Swedes would get their prize in the 62nd minute of the game after a strategic play. Jusu Bah reached the baseline to cross and his very lofted ball reached the head of Rosa Kafaji, that, just like what happened in the first round, he managed to score against the team of Alberto Toril and punish their weak defense.
